Trying to Copy W2K server system partition - HELP!

[kuzkuz]

Hi,

We have a very important server which is installed on a PC
(ye ye I know on the way to get a real server with RAID)
I found out today that I have bad sectors on the server disk, I must transfer the system + data as is and make it work the same on another HD.

of course I tried GHOST, but it wouldn't work becuase of the bad sectors :
I copied the system partition to another HD,
the big question how do I make this HD to reboot and load W2K?
where is that good old command SYS C:......

pls do help...

Insert the Windows 2000 Server CD or use the disks and do a Boot Sector recovery. It will patch up your boot.ini.. also, you can tell GHOST to skip bad sectors.. look at the commands in GHOST.

I tried telling ghost to ignore the bad sectors, but I think it was really in the start of the drive so it didn't work.

I ran FIXMBR, and it didn't work...

if I will run the Repair W2K would it delete my settings?

any ideas what can I do?
