Norton Ghost 2003, Win XP Pro SP2 and Missing Operating System

Anna,

thank you for your detailed description of the clone operation. i think in
the future i will use your method for cloning, either booting from the ghost
floppy or cd. I've used different Ghost versions quite a bit over the years
and thought i had seen it all.

In this case i solved my problem earlier today by basically creating a WinXP
boot CD which has a stripped down version of WinPE on it and a data recovery
plug-in for NTFS volumes. The sources were shareware for the bootCD (aka
BartPE) and data recovery s/w from Runtime Software. I was able to recover
all the data on the internal drive and store it on my USBEHD.

So, my problem is resolved as soon as i format and reinstall the OS to the
internal drive as i'll have the missing data. I'll also make sure backups are
made (that was user error but not this user!).

Thanks for all the support posts to everyone.
