[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 410739, member: 9512"] OK peeps, some help & suggestions please. I have a "broken" HDD in a control. I have a Norton Ghost 2003 image of the disk when it was good on a CD. We do have an installable copy of Norton Ghost 2003. The "broken" disk is not bootable, the hardware that the disk is in, is "not" a standard PC, so I can't just pop another disk in and install another OS on it. I don't have the original bootable CD created when the now faulty HDD was Ghosted. The hardware that the disk goes with, won't run another OS & ghost to do a restore, well it has refused all day. A "normal" PC doesn't seem to want to run the restore either. I have tried to create Ghost virtual partitions to boot from & restore on an alternative PC with no joy. A MAC won't run the SIemens 840D software, and it won't run under Linux either. Replacing the machine or control is not really a viable option. Being an 840D it's not just the front end that needs to be replaced, it's all the drive & motors too, realistically. No Siemens Service until tomorrow, but, I know what their answer will be and it will be expensive, and, won't be a full solution as it won't include the machine builders OEM customisations in the way of the machine parameters. The machine OEM does not have a parameter file for the machine, as it's been modified by muppets unknown. Hence the reason for the Ghost backup. Anyone got any useful, helpful ideas please? [/QUOTE]
