OPERATING SYSTEM NOT FOUND. after moving from 80gb boot drive to300gb boot drive
I have an Emachine T2682. It's about 5 years old. Intel Celeron.
Phoenix bios. I had a tried and tested ghost image of the boot partition handy when my 80 maxtor died a few days ago. I replaced it with a 300gb maxtor. 3 partitions - 30gb c: ntfs just like the original. 15gb fat and the rest NTFS. I restored the boot partition with ghost. But when I attempt to boot from drive I get Operating System Not found. I checked pin setttings on the new drive. When I boot to windows 2003 it sees an the OS installed on C: I now suspect it's the Bios. Any way around this? Maybe a Phoenix bios upgrade? I have the CD with drivers from Maxtor and they discuss something about 48 bit comaptibility an din the bios setup I see enable 32 bit I/O(but not 48 bit).. But how can I apply those to windows or the OS if I can't boot the OS. Thanks for any help or information |

OS not found usually means partition is not active or bootable.
