Non-bootable computer after trying to restore Norton Ghost image
Cross-posted from the Storage forum because now I'm borked:
True to custom for me, I gave this a shot and now have a non-booting machine. It tells me to "pick another boot device or insert bootable media" when I boot up.
Here's what I did:
I used ghost, with an image of E: (my former windows drive), to try to restore the windows partition after I reformatted it.
Somehow the drive letters got reassigned when I reformatted the partions (deleted and recreated, probably the source of my problem), and it made my former swap G:, my former E: was then C:. I've got them both (swap and E) reformatted now, but when it reassigned everything, another of my storage drives is now E:. I think for it to be happy I need the lettering the way it was. I restored the image to G: (the new E:). I don't really know what to do from here...
By the way, the full configuration of my drives is:
200 gb IDE <- 2 partitions, 2 gb swap, the rest for windows
200 gb IDE <- storage
250 gb SATA <- storage
250 gb SATA <- hosting norton ghost image.
Where do I go from here?
