Dave,

I successfully used my Ghost boot disk to image the C: drive to my USB D:
drive this morning. However, upon reboot I still have the "missing operating
system" message from the C: drive. I suspect then that I would have the same
problem if I restored the image from the D: drive back to the C: drive. Im
using Ghost build 2003.775

I have successfully imaged my home desktop, work desktop and several other
pc's with this build of Ghost and using the Ghost GUI to set all the
parameters up before restarting and Ghost starts up with pc-dos and away it
goes. Same thing I did when I went to image this laptop except it coughed on
the reboot.

Thanks fior your help.
