I get this error message after booting after ghosting a WinXP box. I need help! If anyone knows what this means, please tell me. I've tried to update the BIOS & taht's about it.

Thanks,

ALueth
 
And the answer is!

Drum roll please!

FDISK /MBR at a dos prompt.

Ghost the drive, then DO NOT reset the computer when Ghost is done. Instead exit Ghost. Now depending if you have a floppy boot disk or a CDRW B-Disk make sure it has fdisk on it and then run fdisk /mbr. NEXT type in Fdisk again without the /mbr and make sure the acitve partition is not set to boot up the service drive. Make sure its set on the 33gig partition.

Follow steps in this order and your IBM T42 stinkpads should be just fine.

Been there done that!
