(solved)Why booting on stops at intel sign?
Samson:
Hi Jraju,
Good news to hear that you sorted it :smiley:
I'd image the working disk, so as to save time if/ when it fails again :wink:
jraju:
Hi, Samson,
How to do it. Would you please share the trick.
Normally, every hard disk producer would have some tools like seagate.
Samson:
Yup Seagate has this.....

I've never used it, so cannot comment.
Personally I use this one....

Easy to use, good support and free.
Addendum
If you go with Macrium, then be sure to create a rescue CD/USB (Win PE) and test it.
After you have created an image, then verify it.
Also, if you have no external HDD, then an image of a clean install of XP with all updates, drivers etc will fit nicely on a single DVD :wink:.
In the event of needing to use your saved image, then you can be back up and running in 10 to 15 minutes :smiley: A whole bunch quicker than reinstalling, doing all those updates etc.

Hi,
samson
Thanks for tips. But I want how to use it. Just select c: to image, would it be enough?
what do you mean by rescue cd..dvd for using this program. Could i take the other drives as well. I have not tried this imaging and so I ask you.
Samson:
If "C" is your only drive/ partition, then yes that is fine.
You need the rescue media in order to boot the machine in the event of wanting to reinstall an image. In Macrium Reflect, this is listed under "Other Tasks" tab.
A few guides....
