Hi all, i recently created a dual boot system (winxp and Win7) and decided to purchase Ghost 15 to backup my system
My System:
I currently have a 320GB drive that has 3 partitions 1) a FAT32 Boot drive 2) a winXP partition 3) a win7 Partition
The Problem:
* I run Ghost 15 from the Win7 partition and backup all 3 drives (c, d and j) and the backup runs without errors. (I have selected Verify recovery points after creation)
* I then try and restore the 3 partitions (one at a time) to a new 500GB drive and i get a number of different errors:
When booting with only the new 500GB attached, i can see the boot menu with;
Previous version of windows and Windows 7 listed.
When i select Previous Version of windows i get the following error:
File \ntldr status 0xc000000e info the selected file could not be loaded as the application is missing or corrupt
When i select Windows 7 i get the following error:
status 0xc0000225 the boot select failed because a required device is inaccessible.
So upon restart i am unable to boot into either OS. However if i boot via my Win7 DVD, and i click repair installation option. I am then able to boot into Win7.
Once in Win7 i then installed a Beta of EasyBCD 2.0. I removed the current entry for WinXP and re-added the entry. Easy BCD did some auto configuring, and when i reboot the system and try and launch WinXP i get the message unable to find or corrupted hal.dll message.
My Boot drive is the 1st drive in my SATA configuration
In Win7 the Drive with the boot/Win7 and WinXP partitions is listed as disk 0
My Boot ini is configured as follows:
;
;Warning: Boot.ini is used on Windows XP and earlier operating systems.
;Warning: Use BCDEDIT.exe to modify Windows Vista boot options.

and EasyBCD is reporting the following information:

any help is much appreciated

Addendum:
I just a compare of my BCD settings in my old hard drive and newer hard drive. Looking at the newer configuration i see that the identifier tag both both OS is exactly the same, and compared to my previous drive the identifier is different for each drive. I am wondering how i can go about getting the correct identifier for my WinXP partition?
