Good Morning,

I loaded a ghost image unto a desktop. When the desktop boots it restarts on the windows logo screen. The deployment machine (machine image was taken from) and the target machine are both of the same spec. I suspect that the reason for this problem is the chipset on the taregt machine may have changed. How can i use recovery console to install the new chipset drivers that i have downloaded? Your help is much appricaited.

Thanks

Even if the pc have the same spec they maybe different
I have seen computers made with the same part put together the same (cards in same slots etc) do this
The easy thing is to run the windows setup
and choose the repair windows option
If you don't see the repair windows option
this happens if setup cannot find a window it can repair
You may spend hours trying to fix windows
Don't forget to reinstall the service packs
and windows updates
Is there more than 1 partion on these computers
Has the destination drive been in the source
computer with windows running
Are any partitions hidden
Are both drives the same type
All of these can cause this problem
Windows setup may be needed to create the partition on the destination drive
Then use ghost to copy the data
Use the same setup cd that created the partition on the source computer
ghost may not create the partition the same as the windows setup
Hope some of this helps

Thanks a lot the reply was helpful. I repaired it and it now goes into the o/s and reaches the logon screen. However in this screen it is not accepting any password i put in....which password does it normally request after a repair. I used the same password that allowed me to use the recovery console but it is sill giving problems
