Greetings,
Sorry if this is considered off-topic but I have a question.
I installed a new 1 Tb drive to a dual boot system by cloning the drive
using Acronis software that automatically resizes the partitions. Now two
partitioning software programs show exclamation points for each of 4
partitions & Windows 7 won't boot but XP does. I received an error at some
point that the master boot record is corrupt (or something to that effect).
I tried fixing the master boot record. I also tried repairing the Win 7 boot
manager but nothing works.
I have a full image back up of the system made after the new drive was
installed. If I reformat the new drive & set the partitions myself (not
automatically by Acronis), when I restore the image will the partition
geometry errors be restored also?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
