Here is the whole situation: On my laptop, windows XP, one hard drive, c: is the system partition 62GB, d: is recovery partition 13GB, and there is 10Gb of unassigned. With Ghost 10, I made a back up (not image) to an external drive about 3 months ago. The restore point included both C: and D:.
Now my laptop went capute, unable to boot, it goes to just a flashing cursor and all efforts to make it boot into any of the modes failed. I was able to boot it with UBCD and it showed C: but 0GB total and 0GB free and no contents could be seen. Following the advice on line, I ran CHKDSK and that caused the computer to boot to a message "c:\windows\system\ is corrupted or missing. Now I was at least abloe to see c: with the normal amount of GB and it showed the files and folders in it. However many of the folders are missing in the the directory, like programs, my documents etc are not seen in the C:
Coming to Ghost: So I tried to run "restore" from the external hard drive (F:). The Ghost message said something like "express restore is not possible choose custom" whihc I did. I the custom, it gave me the choice of restoring c: or D: however it was reading c: as invalid. I chose both C: and D: however i think it restored only the D:.
How do I restore C: to the original or a new hard drive? Thank yopu very much for the help.
