Windows 2000 Pro w/Ghost 6.0.3

I Ghosted a Windows 2000 Pro System with Ghost 6.0.3 complete the copy successfully. When I took out the imaged drive and rebooted with the Orig HD I got a "Limited Virtual Memory" error then gave steps on how to correct. The only problem is when I hit OK it takes me back to the sign on screen, I retype my password and again brings up the error. This just continues inan endless loop. It also does this in Safe Mode.

So then I installed the Ghosted HD into the system and it booted up fine. I'm afraid to use this drive as the source drive and do another Ghost and then lose both HD.

Anyone have any suggestions.
 
I'd suggest possibly running a repair using the Emergency Recovery Disks. Make them using the non-problematic Ghost HD and then hit F8 @ start up w/ the original HD. Worked for a corrupted Ghost Image I worked on at work.
 

First boot the computer into the Windows 2000 recovery Console. find the pagefile.sys and DELETE it. then run a Check Disk with the /r switch: chkdsk /r now restart the computer and hopefully the OS will recreate the pagefile.sys.

But i bet this is the problem you are having....
If that does not work then this probably will:

make a DOS boot disk with fdisk on it. when you into DOS with your floppy do this: fdisk /mbr

now reboot the computer. the system should boot. if it does not then boot your WIN2K CDROM and do a full repair without a floppy repair disk. this should recreate the boot record, boot.ini and the Global Unique Identifiers (GUID) should be reset.

in other words, WIN2K still thinks that your 20gig drive is C: and once you get to the logon screen it wants to read the data on the C: to login because the registry points to the disk that has the disk signature C:. You can prove this by putting in your 20gig drive as slave. once you login to WIN2K the OS will start reading from the 20gig, even though initially it booted the 30gig. WIN2K writes a disk signature to each harddrive and places them in the registry. by re-writing the Master Boot Record WIN2K reassigns default drive letters to your new drives and allows you to login again....
have fun
