J It should get you around the 'Missing Operating System' problem. There may be other ways, but this one worked for me. I had quite a bit of trouble finding out how to do this, so I’m putting this information on the Dell website out of gratitude for their service. Most of my programs, and the also the Ghost image file, are on D. Anyway, it’s the operating system that causes most of the trouble, and the smaller partition where my OS lives is easier to copy. I don’t remember who made my laptop, but it says 'dy' on the top. If your laptop doesn’t have a floppy drive, you need to find a way to make a GHOST CD boot disk, but since all of the instructions either tell you how to make a floppy boot disk, or a bootable Ghost Image on a CD.Ī bit of background: I have an 80 G hard drive, and I used Partition Magic 8 to make my C partition 15 G, and then another three partitions with about 20 G each. And from time to time, you make a CD or DVD of the file for extra safety.
If you are like me, you want to put your image file on the hard drive somewhere. Norton GHOST 2003 Boot CD Disk for a Laptop
