A startup failure caused by Ghost

My colleague’s computer recently had a problem. I asked for help to reinstall Windows 98. When it was not available, I took out a CD containing the Windows 98 image file of Ghost2003 and Ghost and told him how to use it. And write the steps on a piece of paper and let him go back and install it step by step.

For a while, a colleague called and said that the computer in the office could not be started. The symptoms were asked on the phone. Colleagues could not say clearly. No way, it seems that they had to run in person. When I came to my colleague's office and restarted the computer, it was really after the self-test, the picture stopped moving, and it was restarted N times. I learned that the colleague just followed the steps on the paper that I wrote to him to restore the system, and used Ghost to operate it on this computer. When the final step of "recovering the image file" was completed, halfway through. Because it was interrupted due to power failure, there was a problem restarting the system. Colleagues said that the computer has been working normally. It seems that the hardware should be no problem, reinstall the system. Start from the floppy disk and the system will be restored in 10 minutes. Restart, this should be no problem, but after the self-test, still can not start normally.

Is the hard drive broken? Restarted into DOS and detected the hard disk with Scandisk. No problems were found. Then why can't the reinstallation system start? With, is it the first time that Ghost is used to quit and the hard disk boot area is wrong? Then type Fdisk/mbr Enter at A:. Restart the computer, after the self-test, the blue sky and white clouds that are expected to return to the screen, the problem is solved.

The problem is solved, and I have gained a little experience from it: when you use Ghost to recover the system, you must complete it once, otherwise there may be unexpected problems.
