Serious Problem - Ghost 2003

I've tried to make backup of DELL Optiplex GX620. Unfortunatly after
ghost restarts from cd it was unable to start it ( Blank ghost dos
frame), after that I had to restart computer, but instead of narmal
windows start, DOS was started with options to run ghost or return to
windows. Returning to windows is impossible (computer stops). In dos
mode I see that drive c: contains only ghost files. I would like to
return to windows and I dont know how to du that. Please help me.

It sounds like you imaged the wrong partition and/or used Ghost
incorrectly. I don't know what "ghost files" means but if you don't see
your operating system, you'll need to reinstall Windows.

I recently posted to this newsgroup some step-by-step instructions for using
Ghost 2003. Why don't you take a look at it and see if it's of any help? The
thread was "Re: Norton Ghost 2003
cloned disk crashes when booted" and the posting is dated 12/6/06.
