restore an image,xp doesn't boot ,no mbr

Hi
1)
i made an image of my C: of my windows xp with Hard Disk Manager 2010 Professional

i used the winpecd , selected C: and mbr

well if i run the wizard , my restore image boots

well if i run the program , click on the partition and select restore ->the image
->apply ->after the restore process , my xp doesn't boot

what's wrong? i read the manual , did not find an answer

2)
and another question , in the restore wizard i did notice that i can select folders to restore , so i guess i can restore the all image outside the folder for example c:\my music
is this dangerous?
i mean restore an image , excluding a folder , it should damage the mft,should not it?

thanks
best regards

 

Hi,

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean - they are opposite statements

You can restore ( copy back ) any files you want from the image without any problem.

 

well
thanks
sorry for my poor english
i used the winpe Hard Disk Manager 2010 Professional to restore an image
boot the cd
run the full version of Hard Disk Manager 2010 Professional , not the wizard
clicked on the partition ->restore->select the image file -> ok
when i did finish to restore the image
i reboot my pc
my my xp doesn't start up , at the boot ntr missed

hope it's more clear

sorry again and thanks

 

please check this

did you select the mbr as well during making of backup file also did you save backup on hard-disk or on cd/dvd

 

nice video
really thanks!

but you did use the wizard

i want to use the Full Scale Drive Backup , and clicked on partition ->restore->image files-> and my C: doesn't boot


with the wizard like in the movies , it works to me , i mean i can restore and boot

but again with the full scale drive backup , i can restore an image but after my xp doesn't boot!


thanks

 

That's strange, I thought the restore process was the same for both the Wizard and the context menu.

Did you try running Paragon Boot Corrector >Correct boot.ini.

 

well
i wanted to restore the image xp in the partition x

1) i wiped the partition x
2) i create a new partition identical to x (size)
3) i clicked on the partition x
4) Restore
5) image made 5 minutes ago (included the mbr)
6) ok

xp doesn't boot


but

the last time i did it ,i did with true image 9
and i get a mess


thanks

 

may you do it

thanks
may you test my procedure when you have free time ?

 

Re: may you do it

Hi Mantra,

I just spotted the bit where you said you get the Ntldr is missing message.

That message indicates ntldr is not found - which is subtly different from missing.

It may mean the wrong partition is marked Active.

Are the boot files ntldr, boot.ini and ntdetect.com on the partition you restored?

They are Hidden files, so you need to Show Hidden Files in Folder Options to see them.

If they are present, is that partition marked Active?

The partition containing the boot files should be the only Active partition on that HD.

 

Re: may you do it

yes they are inside the partition

i have to make an another test
what i know is
the wizard makes my partition bootable and so active
restore via context menu no ,maybe is a bug
i used the wizard to make the image ,is of course active


is there a list of bugs about Hard Disk Manager 2010 Professional

thanks a lot

 

Re: may you do it

If you mark the restored partition Active - does it work?
