Hi,
After much trouble, I discovered that the boot drive on my sister's
system is kaput. I was able to use Drive Image 7 to copy the 2
partitions of that disk C+D to another (larger drive) the rest of that
drive is currently unallocated.
However, when I goto to boot, BIOS setup is fine. Then the black XP
screen shows, with the blow scroll of SP2. The mouse pointer shows in
the middle of the screen then the blue screen with the little XP logo
shows up. However, it never says "windows is starting up, just sits
there.
Safe mode goes to the screen with safe mode all around and then sits.
I tried recovery console: fixboot, fixmbr and boot cfg /rebuild with no
help. I cannot find an option for a repair install that does not
require re-installation of programs as I think I've seen mentioned
somewhere...
What am I doing wrong? I thought this was the point and reason of being
for backup programs like Drive Image.
Thanks for all your helps, guys.
