Freeze after sucessful restore

[exec]

Hi there!

In the last few days I had to restore my notebook a few times. It's always the booting HDD with WinXP (SP2) to be restored. I manage this by starting TI in windows and then start the restore process. After the check of the image, it reboots and checks it again (btw: why? It has been checked in windows-mode already), then restores the image.

Often this procedure works perfectly: It finishes the restore and reboots automatically. But sometimes it happens that I get a message box saying "Operation sucessful" after the restore process. When this happens, the computer semms to got freezed: the mouse pointer disappeared and even when hitting return, nothing happens...it feels like a freeze.

The only chance then is to simply switch off the computer and start it again. After this, the HDD seems to be really restored correctly (windows works fine and everything).
But is this save? I mean simply switching it off after the restore. Or should this be avioded and the whole restore process started again, just to be save?


I'm using TI 9.0 home (build #3694).


Thanks in advice!

Make the bootable Rescue CD and try doing your Restore with it - see if the same thing happens.

Worked perfectly!

But I don't know if it'll work when I try it again. As I said, with the other method, it sometimes worked without this freeze, sometimes not.

But for now, it's OK. Next time I'll try it again with the CD method.
