I have a client’s machine who installed Faronics Deep Freeze Enterprise. He created a Deep Freeze Standard install WITHOUT a password and installed. Couldn’t get Deep Freeze to boot thawed. Tried to use Ghost to restore the hard drive but Ghost couldn’t see the drive with Deep Freeze unknown partitions on it. When he reinstalled Windows XP Pro, XP install showed 3 small “unknown partitions” on the drive that couldn’t be deleted and then he reinstalled XP Pro. Now he cannot use Ghost to backup the hard drive to another hard drive. I have a second smaller hard drive with XP Pro to recover using Ghost to the larger hard drive, but Ghost cannot see the drive.
This is a WD caviar PATA hard drive. I tried using WD DLG to write zeros to the drive but it didn’t help. Anyone know of a way to restore the drive to the original condition, thereby removing the “unknown partitions” created by Deep Freeze? I tried reinstalling Deep Freeze and the uninstalling Deep Freeze, which didn’t work either. Thanks!
