I'm sure this is covered somewhere & I just need a link to follow the instructions.
I have used Norton Ghost for many years & have succeeded in restoring files from clobbered hard drives.
But at the moment the operating system drive has died. Fortunately I have an intact recevery point (iv2i) file (though a few weeks old) which has been stored on an independent NAS. Via networking (inside Windows) I have access to this file & now need to restore it onto a fresh hard drive which is reliable, formatted & capable of booting the computer back to that point in time. The recovery disk that I made for that computer has proved to be useless (ie even though I thought I was storing network drivers etc, the disk failed to access the network & the Ghost file in it from bootup). I'm now looking at all the files accessable within that recovery point but I suspect that simply copying them will not give me a bootable disk. I can see that I can mount the files before recovery but that if I fail to get a bootable drive from it, I've lost the data.
I'm looking for instructions on how to restore that iv2i file from inside Windows XP Pro to become a bootable drive.
Thanks for any advice.
