I was confused that my old drive only have one OS on it(Windows7 professional), but my new drive became a dual OS and ask me to choose which OS I want to boot. In this case, no matter which OS I choose, my computer will work in windows 7 professional.

 

My old drive has two partition in it(system reserve & C drive).

It's a little bug that happens sometimes when using "copy drive".

Click the start button and type MSCONFIG into the search bar

When msconfig opens click the tab "Boot".

Highlight the second entry by clicking once on it and then click the delete button.

(The one that says Vista, server, windows 7).

 

Reboot the system and the boot menu should be gone and it should boot into windows 7 by itself.

 

You did a very good job with the restore, congratulations.

I still have some question.

1. Is there anything I can do to prevent this issue occur?

2. Has symantec fixed this issue yet?

1. A workaround... After you complete the restore, while still in the Recovery Environment, use the Recover My Files wizard (Recovery Point Browser) to restore the original BCD file located in the boot folder on the active partition. It could reside on the System reserved Partition or the partition Windows resides on.

 

2. I believe it has been fixed in Ghost's cousin, SSR (Symantec System Recovery). Since Ghost is now discontinued, it will not be fixed.

 

Come on Symantec, give us a SP 2 with these bug fixes!
