Windows XP bluescreen after secure zone resize!
Hello forum,
please help me with my serious problem:
On an older laptop I am using TI-Server 7.0 and got big problems after I decided to shrink the secure zone with Recovery Manager (to have more space on my Windows partition).
Now Windows fails during boot with a bluescreen (it goes away very quick to restart the PC, so I can't read the exact reason).
I don't know what could be the problem, when I go back into Recovery Manager everything looks fine, I can see the files are there on drive C: and as Windows starts booting I guess it is not a problem with the partition table or MBR !?
Is it worth trying to do a backup of the System partition and restore that backup with Recovery manager ?
Any comment / help would be highly appreciated as there is a tons of ancient device drivers and applications installed on this laptop (which is my last one with PCMCIA interface) !!!
Thanks,
Tom

I did not break the golden rule, I made all changes with the acronis tools that's why I was so confused that it did not work (the way it should do).
Anyway, I solved my problem:
With the Acronis Recovery Manager again I have chosen the option to remove the secure zone and apply the free space to my Windows partition.
After reboot everything was fine, Win XP is booting and I am happy!
Only I have the bad feeling now that all this backup scenario to safe an important setup made things more insecure and caused more trouble to me which without system backup I wouldn't have encountered!
