bootmgr is missing
Hi Experts,
I have a laptop from Sony Vaio and I have made an image of the C partition.
When I restore this image, and boot the machine, then I get the error message, :
BOOTMGR IS MISSING...
I tried some WIN7 repair tools without success.
Why this happens with CloneZilla ?

ok, I could see with the ACRONIS BOOT CD that I have my NTFS partitions.
But I think, the flag is not set to boot from it.
How can I change the the flag to boot from ?

Hi, I think the problem with the Vaio is, the raid and SATA driver.
This drivers not installed in the software.
Do you know how to do this ?
Or do you know another way to convert a clonezilla image to another one ?

In GPARTED I just see 2 HDD's
SDA and SDB
With another tool, like Acronis Disk Diretor 2011 I can see, the partition is NTFS and the size and the data in it.
See the picture below from GPARTED

Hi rindi:,
it is the raid controller from :
Intel Rapid Storage Technology 9.5.0.1037
When I check the Raid it is Raid1
Inside my clozilla image file I see there are SDA1 SDA2 and SDA 3 files.
This is my Recovery partition, the logical partition and the C partition.

Now I checked again the folders with ACRONIS DISK DIRECTOR 2011.
This is the only tool which recongnice the raid driver.
I did the restore now the 4th time.
I have the recovery partition from VAIO with 9 GB
I have the SYSTEM Partition with 100MB, which is active, I don't know why. Will change it later.
I have my C drive with 63GB

with DISKPART and the command DETAIL DISK I see the disk and the volumes.
But all volumes are RAW.
But on some infos in youtube I saw the same command but without RAW, I saw NTFS or other formats.

some experts told me I can use Clonezilla for it.
And I cloned the whole disk.
Next time use another tool, this is for sure. :-)

You can use CloneZilla for single disks without problems. But when you are using a RAID array you must use a tool that is aware of the array. You only cloned a physical disk and not the array. You can boot PartedMagic and probably also the CloneZilla LiveCD (I prefer PartedMagic as it is more complete in terms of included tools) using different modes, some of which include Linux RAID, and those might be able to see the array properly. If once you are within the environment of the BootCD you can check whether it sees the array properly. If it sees all the physical disks then that isn't the case. It should only see the Array's Volumes.
If you can't get PartedMagic to properly see the array, then you need other tools. Windows 7's backup utility makes backup images, so that would be the free tool that works. Also Vista and Windows 2008 use that. For other OS's you need 3rd party tools that can be booted into a WinPE environment so the Array Controller's drivers can be included if the OS doesn't already support them. Tools that come with such a bootable CD aren't free... Free versions usually have a Linux Environment they boot from, and then you are at the same situation as with PartedMagic/CloneZilla.
You could of course build your own WinPE bootCD and include free tools, but that is a lot of work and also need lots of reading.
