TI Home 11 backup is not bootable

Thread needs solution

Recovery of my Acronis backup (after HD replacement) doesn't boot;

Backup of the C: partition said "NTLDR missing". I solved this issue by copying a NTLDR to c:.

The D: partition (Where I have all programs and data) is succesfully recovered (Active!), but is not recognised by Windows as a bootable partition.

In the Windows Repairmode I can log in on both windows directories [1] c: \windows en [2] h:\windows, but
When using BOOTCFG /scan of /rebuild only [1] c:\windows is shown as bootable.

I tried copying NTLDR, NTDETECT.com and boot.ini to d:, no succes. And
fixmbr en fixboot do not have effect

How can I get my D: partition bootable again?

If your Windows installation is on C, as it normally is, that is the partition that should be Active, not D. Restore your image again and this time make it Active.

I have a dual boot installation with windows on C and on D;
It worked well untill i had to replace the broken HD

old and new situation; c: is pri+act and d: is act.

Sometimes you just have to specify the boot disk order inthe BIOS after installng a new hard disk.

Right, you didn't mention dual boot on single hard disk. Assuming this is a Microsoft dual boot, and you are not using a third party boot manager, only C should be Active but both must be primary. Did you restore D as Logical?

Yep, I just checked it;
C is actice + primary and D is primary

I restored D (as advised bij TI) as primary -> so not logical

I did FIXMBR and FIXBOOT from the Windows Repair console (CD); no effect!
Or do you mean restore MBR from the image? That results in a "MBR 1 is not correct" (or something like that)

I've never had to restore to a new disk myself, but seem to remember similar issues on here before, and believe an XP repair on D may be necessary.
I assume C is booting OK?

EDIT - what do you mean by there is now only one HD, were there two previously?

EDIT 2 - I meant restore MBR from the image, but if that is generating an error????????????
