Help with restoring my PC

Thread needs solution

Hi,

I am running Xp pro on a dell system. My Os started giving me problems yesterday. I used the Boot CD I created last week when I purchased this software to do a restore of my system drive. The Acronis program said the restore was "Successful" .....However, my system will not boot. It is stuck on a Black screen with a blinking cursor line in the upper left corner.

Does any one have any suggestion for me????

Thanks,
Jason

Jason:

Did you restore the partition as "Active"?

Hi Mark,

Yes it was active. I was reading about an issue with some Dell system and the "dell utility partition" which is on the first portion of the OS drive.
I dropped in a old drive that was not part of the original Dell system ....I was able to recover everything ...the system is running. however now everything is displayed in shades of green....Not sure why.

thanks.

JASON,
Not sure of your specifics but if your system has windows 7 and matched either of the Dells shown in the attachment, it is the Recovery partition which is the active partition.

Can you tell us a little more about the type of backup that you performed. Was it a backup only of the DRIVE C or was it a backup of all partitions?

When you did the restore, did you restore only the main system partition which is the largest partition or did you restore all the partitions?

Which version of Windows is being restored.
