Hi
I have a Acer Aspire desktop system that I installed Norton Ghost on about 3 months ago, using an external hard drive. This month the Vista OS became corrupted with a stop 0x0000007b startup error. Cant get into safe mode, normal mode or do any repair.
After doing a Norton Ghost restore, the system simply says no system disk found.
I discovered that Acer has a small eisa partition at the front of the drive (Boot Partition?) Ghost apparently does not properly restore this, and the Acer Vista disks dont provide any type of startup repair tool. The Ghost backup has the file information of the drive that was backed up, but I dont want to reload each program. there must be some way to recover Vista. I tried a retail copy of Vista to try a repair, but the Acer OEM Vista wont accept it.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Bob
