HELP!!! Laptop recovery

[krackow 0]

I tried to recover my laptop's harddrive and settings. It all goes fine until I get to when the files are being loaded. After a while something pops up that says "? Output A:\Ghost.err" and has me select Yes or No. I don't have an A drive on my laptop and if I put no then it says that there is an error and it is unable to continue and aborts the recovery. I have no idea what this means and what to do. Someone please help...

Is this a Toshiba laptop? Anyway, the CD you are trying to use is attempting to restore a Ghost image to your hard drive so that the laptop will be restored to the way it was when you first acquired it. It is possible that when the image was made that an earlier form of Ghost was used that required an A:\ drive. Since you don't have an A:\ drive it can't find the image. Two things I might suggest:

1) go into your Bios and select Boot from CD.

 

2) If that doesn't work, use Windows Explorer to look at the CD. Look at the subdirectories and write them down. See if there is a batch file in the root of the CD - it might even say autoexec.bat. Then, read what it says. It may indicate what subdirectory or folder, the batch is calling for. If you can find it, then you can try the following. At a Dos prompt type:

subst a: d:\name of your subdirectory. What this does is to direct the program that when it reads a:\ as a drive letter, it will go to the CD drive and subdirectory as if it were a:\

Hello,

 

[censored] DataRecoveryWizard utility can help. Speaking about me, it was

easily able to restore deleted, lost file and unformat drive,

so I think you will also find it quite useful. Really recommended

tool, give it a try.
