I was trying to use Drive Image 5.0 (xp w/sp1 and all updates) to copy a
EIDE drive image to a new SATA Drive. Run Drive Image from Window XP, to
boot to dos. This faile with the following messages:
|..
Err 5: Error finding VFLOPPY.SYS
Err 8: Fake Floppy driver not found
Press any key to boot active partition
Windows XP came up fine. Shutdown hoping next reboot of system and the
error message would go way. No such luck, it appeared again, but Windows XP
came up.
In order try and clear up the message Drive Image 5.0 left behind, I tried
the Windows Recover Console, used the recover option that put me into, a
subset?, of DOS.
Ran the fixmbr program to the C-drive. Ok, I glanced at the warnings, and
should have backed up more stuff, but did not.....
fixmbr ran. Now have lost the C-drive all together.
Now get the following messages on power-up:
|..
Err 5: Error finding VFLOPPY.SYS
Err 8: Fake Floppy driver not found
Press any key to boot active partition
<hangs>
I had previously installed WinXP on SATA drive (with the EIDE drive
disconnected). Installed fine, but does not have all the programs and data
from orginal system (hence the reason for the drive image copy...), so I
connected the EIDE drive and powered up. THe SATA winxp system came up
find, discovered the EIDE drive (two partitions). But the 'old C-Drive'
hows Local Disk with a file system of RAW. The second partition on the
drive looks fine (IE: Has a NTFS filesytem on it and I can browse the few
files I have on it no problem).
As a sidebar: I was able to boot with Drive Image CD and found a PTEDIT
tool. When looking at the Parition Table, I do not see whats wrong, etc.
What sector or sectors are messed up on the old C-drive that I need to fix?
How does not go about that?
