Paragon image recovery prob
I've restore an image originally created with Paragon drive image pro -
the image was restored from the bootdisk and recovered onto a new computer. The image reported success after about an hour. My problem is that when i now try to boot the computer up i get a message disk boot failure - insert system disk and press enter. This is Windows XP
I've booted from an original XP cd and gone into the drive to make sure the data is there and it is.
So it may just be a boot problem as the error reports.
thanks for any help

Hi, thanks for helping.
I've tried all the basic stuff - make sure the hard disk is set to first boot etc and it still comes up with the same message (disk boot failure)
The drive is PATA 80GB and is working fine, well before i restored the image onto the drive any way.
I booted the system with a floppy from diskmanager and on checking the setup of the drive it's saying that the drive is not active, No Partion table - so i figure this the cause.
I've tried restoring the image 3 times now by simply booting from the CDrom and clciking on restore drive image. but it's screwing up the partition for some reason hense the bootdisk failure message.
Any more clue
