windows 7 - How to prevent boot manager missing after cloning a win764 image using Ghost 2003?
2014-07
I am running ghost 2003 command -fdsp, but once we have cloned the image and restored it onto exactly the same make and model machine, we are force to run win7 setup and run a repair which fixes the boot menu, I want to prevent this requirement to fix the problem, any suggestions besides the obvious of using Windows AIK tools, new versions of ghost/clonzilla.
I want to prevent the problem in the first place, it's 1 partition only, on a levano workstation m82 with UEFI and a 100mb system reserved partition.
Windows Boot Manager screen and states:
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1.Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2.Choose your language settings, and then click "Next."
3.Click "Repair you computer." If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.Status: 0xc000000e
You need to make the restored partition ACTIVE by using DISPART. At a command prompt:
DISKPART
LIST DISK
SELECT DISK x (where x is the physical boot disk)
LIST PARTITION
SELECT PARTITION x (where x is the partition where Windows resides)
ACTIVE
EXIT
EXIT
Then reboot.
You may encounter the dreaded "BOOTMGR is missing" error after rebooting. You will then need to use the Windows 7 install DVD and allow it to repair or manually by entering BOOTREC /FIXMBR
and BOOTREC /FIXBOOT
.
I had Ubuntu in one partition and Vista in another.
The Ubuntu boot manager would come up and ask me if I wanted Ubuntu or Vista.
After installing Windows 7 over Vista, upon booting there is no sign of Ubuntu.
Is there a way I can log into Ubuntu some how in its partition and set up the Ubuntu boot manager again so that when I boot the machine it asks me if I want to use Windows 7 or Ubuntu?

There's also Super Grub Disk if those steps aren't working for you.
