Confusion with priority BIOS after running Norton Ghost.

Years ago, I had done a fresh XP install on a 75 GB Seagate hard drive. I have an old Maxtor drive of 25 GB the first connection on the Ribbon of the IDE and the Seagate is the second link on the same Ribbon. I have updated the BIOS to boot from the Seagate.  Performance lately on the Seagate has not been good, so I decided to start from scratch. I did a fresh install of XP on the Maxtor and everything is saved for this drive. Subsequently, I deleted the partition of Seagate and used Norton Ghost 9.0 to copy the contents of the Maxtor to the Seagate. Then I changed the priority of hard drive BIOS so the computer would be of the Seagate. When the computer is first started after the copy, I got a blue screen which took place from the disk check. Subsequently, it seemed to boot from Maxtor, thanks to the constant ROAR. The Seagate is quiet.
In addition, when I opened up under administrative tools computer management, the Seagate drive appears as drive D rather than C. I was confused so I saved a file on the desktop to confirm which drive has started. The resulting file saved in D:\Documents and Settings\... folder.  It makes no sense to me.  Why does the computer start to the Maxtor with the Seagate with the priority in the BIOS? In addition, since he did start the Maxtor, I do not understand why the file was saved on drive D instead of C (Maxtor) (Seagate). Remember, I had the same hard drive and BIOS before configuring backup and run the ghosts and files were copied on the disks expected during the priming for the Seagate.
Does anyone have an idea what is happening?

The BIOS follows it of own rules to choose which drive start.
Once he locates the starting tips for, then turns the Windows.

Windows (XP) also gets its own way to begin - so you must be sure that it's boot sequence is correct.  I got a new SATA Raptor drive which was starting slow as molasses - until I found that the system was booting from the old IDE drive before he transferred control over the fastest SATA drive that Windows has been installed on.

Finally, other programs have different ways to determine which drive they use.
Add a copy of a disc (using Ghost) can keep registry settings for different drive specifications.

IMO, on a XP system, you must have 1 player who put in shape to boot from.  The rest should be just the storage drives.

  • After using Norton Ghost to clone new HARD drive, get the message «This is not a real Windows 7»

    Hi, I used Norton ghost 15 clone my old original (750 GB) to a new HDD (1 TB) hard disk, all seemed well, start in windows 7 from screen, but when he arrived at the office, there was a line saying "this is not a genuine copy of windows 7" and nothing shown on the desktop but a light blue background. I have my Win 7 DVD, but there is no way to indicate to the system on my product key.  I'm stuck on a blue screen.

    After seeing another suggestion to use MGAdiag, I created a new boot disk and it linked the diag.  The output is cryptic, so I guess that I have validated only my new installation and there is no obvious way to point to the other disk.  But the output is lower.

  • Is it possible to reinstall Vista OEM on the HP laptop after using the Norton Ghost software?

    Hello

    I'm in a bit of trouble. Please help me. In 2007, I bought a HP laptop which of course came with a preinstalled Windows Vista. My friend did a back-up for me using Norton Ghost. Now I do not use Ghost. I would like to re - install Windows Vista on a CD and save by using the product key given in the back of my knees (OEM - his name I guess). Since I use all the same material I hope it will be accepted but I'm not sure. My question is if it will work? Is it legal this Windows already registered in my name for 3.5 years. Please help me and answer me.

    It is also possible to download Windows Vista from www.microsoft.com?
    Thanks in advance.
    Kind regards.

    As long as you use the same reinstall OEM or restore DVD (Vista is too big to fit on a CD) initially provided with the laptop, you will have no problem.

  • Norton Ghost crushes on Satellite Pro A100

    Good afternoon everyone,

    I'm having a problem with a few laptops I have here. I just got a few Satellite Pro A100 but I have problems with making an image of the HARD disk. I tried Norton Ghost and a few other programs that can back up a disk to an image, but none of them worked. For some reason, they all crash when they are tryig to get started.

    I tried it on 3 different PC laptops and failed each time, exactly at the same place. I guess it has something to do with how these programs manage the memory.

    If someone has had this problem before and have you found a solution for this?

    Hello

    I doubt that the problem is something serious. But I can say that your best bet is to bring to an authorized service provider. The hard drive under sometimes is used to disconnect after a bit of work. But this isn't anything you can do to fix it. You must take it to a repair shop and ask them to look at. The reason that Norton blocked is because it cannot read the disk hard because she is not completely connected. I would like to know how this happens. And one last thing, if you want to turn the laptop and to take cover in the lower right and see if the hard drive is seated properly and firmly. Then try to use the ghost.

  • Satellite A30 stops when you run Norton

    Hello. I have a Satellite A30 which crashes when trying to run Norton.

    Spec: Satellite A30, Win XP Home SP1, 512 MB RAM, 3 + Ghz processor.

    We also noticed that the fan seems to be "fully enlightened", even when he's just sitting on the desktop with any of the applications that are running.

    Any ideas?

    We noticed that there was a notification for install of XP SP2, so we clicked on that. He started to install, the fan is even harder, it crashed again and now there is no notification of XP SP2!

    We are sure that this is a problem of overheating or battery, but we wonder what we can do about it.

    I hope someone can help. Thank you.
    Nath.

    Hello Nath

    As far as I know that satellite A30 is about two years old and agree to your description, I assume that the unit needs to be cleaned. I have Satellite P20, also more than two years, and for a short while I cleaned. You can't imagine how much dust was inside. I have a cat at home and I think half of the cat hair was inside.

    After cleaning, the laptop can take a breath and it works more silent. Now, I am very satisfied. I can just recommend you to do the same.

    Good luck!

  • HP Pavilion dv6000 (Vista) starts with a blank screen with a cursor after the original hp logo screen.

    HP Pavilion dv6000 (Vista) starts with a blank screen with a cursor after the original hp logo screen.  Cannot get it to boot Windows.  Any thoughts on next steps?

    I remove the hard drive and attach it to your desktop and use the host operating system to run a check disk on your drive.  The laptop goes hard disk looking for instructions to start and he does not see the correct code.  This is probably due to a damaged boot sector.  Another idea is that your bios has changed and you have changed the SATA from AHCI to IDE type somehow or vice versa. You also left a non bootable disk in the DVD/CD drive.  Remove all disks from your DVD.
