We have to restore the system on a custom PC which acts as a controller for a CNC Machine. It has an Intel processor (Celeron MMX @ 400 Mhz), 128 Mb of RAM (PC100 ECC SDRAM), 6.4 Gb HDD (Western Digital Caviar 64AA) on an unknown motherboard with ROM/PCI ISA BIOS (2A69KM2Q AWARD SW. INC V4.S1PG) running WNT WS 4.0 SP6 and custom grinding software. The former IT staff left nothing but a ghost image of the HDD made with Ghost V.8. To restore the system, we started up the PC using PC-DOS coming from the Ghost boot disk and then running the ghost.exe file. Once the HDD was cloned, the PC was restarted but it did not boot from it. The HDD was recognized by the BIOS at startup but the system got stuck when booting from the disk after the message "Verifying DMI Pool Data" was displayed(that was the last message). We tested the hardware an ensured it can boot from the HDD by performing a DOS 6.22 and NT 4.0 clean installs on several HDDs. In both cases, the PC boot from the HDD without problem (also booting from FDD and CD-ROM drive were successful). We also verified that the HDD contents can be read when the PC was started from other driver (FDD,CD-ROM). The ghost image has been tested also. We used a separate Intel Celeron-based PC (@ 446 MHz) to clone the HDD using the same version of Ghost with the same boot floppies. In that case, the PC booted from the cloned HDD !! We also tried the image in a newer PC (Intel P4) and it worked! Ghost reports the image FS is FAT16. We also performed tons of test over the controller PC and the image but we think the above info is the basis to understand the problem. We'll appreciate any advice or help that anybody can provide. Thanks in advance !!
