How to solve the problem that the brand machine can't GHOST system

The general brand machine will have a hidden small partition (the first partition, usually c: disk) is used to protect the system. If you use Ghost XP to install the disk automatically, it will often appear in the process of automatic Ghost. error. Check if there is a hidden small partition on the hard disk. You can check it with the Partition Magic 8.05 Traditional version in the Ghost XP boot CD menu. If the status bar has a partition of about 10M at the front, then this small partition is the first partition.

If you install the system in another way, just select the manual ghost to install when the Ghost XP installation disk starts. Generally, the hidden partition will be skipped. After installing XP, the system can generally enter the graphical interface. But after rebooting, you generally can't enter the system. System prompt: The file is damaged or lost, such as hal.dll is missing.

This is because the boot.ini file in the root directory of the C drive is illegal, resulting in the default boot from C:\\Windows, but since your Windows XP is not installed on the C drive (hidden small partitions are generally Is the real C drive, Ghost XP has actually been loaded into the D drive), so the system failed to boot.

The workaround is to re-edit the Boot.ini file.

1. If the system enters the desktop for the first time after installing XP (do not restart). You can modify the boot.ini item in the C:\\ root directory that you see (you need to cancel the "protected operating system files (recommended) in the view under the folder option" and check "Show all files". And folder & rdquo;). The general boot.ini is as follows:

[boot loader] timeout=3 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk( 0) rdisk(0)partition(1)\\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /DETECTHAL “c:\\Arldr="DOS Toolbox"”

Change partition(1) in two places to partition(2) and save. Explanation: “partition(1)” is the only partition (first partition) on the first drive in the computer. If there are two partitions (C and D), partition C is partition(1) and partition D is partition(2). Partition(2) is the disk that your Ghost XP actually installs. Now the system can start up normally.

2. If the system has been restarted after entering the desktop for the first time after installing XP and cannot enter the system, you can do the following: Restart the system with the Ghost XP installation disk and select it on the CD boot menu. Go to “DOS Toolbox”. At the command prompt type: “copy space edit.com space c:\\” Enter, copy edit.com to the c:\\ root directory, and then go to c:\\. Type: <;attrib space -h space -r space -s space Boot.ini”, remove Boot.ini hidden, read-only, system properties, enter. Type: “edit space Boot.ini”, enter. Change partition(1) to partition(2) as above and save and exit. Type: <;attrib space +h space +r space +s space Boot.ini”, re-establish Boot.ini hidden, read-only, system properties, enter. Restart the system and finish! You can now use the Win PE that comes with the CD to boot the Boot.ini.

] Note: If the hard disk does not have a hidden small partition, you do not need to modify the boot.ini. Since Ghost XP is actually installed on the “D” disk, there is an error in installing and running the OneKey Restore Wizard and running the Ghost OneKey Backup system. If you need to back up your system, you must do it manually using Ghost.

The meaning of the data in the Boot.ini file: “timeout”Specify the time Windows waits before selecting the default operating system “default”Specify the default operating system. “scsi(0)” indicates that the primary controller (and usually the only controller) is responsible for this device. If there are two SCSI controllers and the disk is associated with the second controller, the second controller is called “scsi(1)”. If your system uses an IDE, Enhanced IDE (EIDE), or Enhanced Small Device Interface (ESDI) drive, or if your system uses a SCSI adapter that does not have a built-in BIOS, replace “scsi” with “multi”. “disk(0)” refers to the SCSI logical unit (LUN) to be used. It can be a standalone disk, but most SCSI settings have only one LUN per SCSI ID. “rdisk(0)” refers to the physical disk 1 “partition(1)” is the only partition on the first drive in the computer. If there are two partitions (C and D), partition C is partition(1) and partition D is partition(2).
