Hi all,

I used Ghost 2003 from within WinXP to perform a system backup 
( C drive of WinXP ServicePack 2 - Maxtor 6Y120M0 )
When booted into pc-dos, ghost simply hangs. 
The utility to get back into windows, ghreboot, also hangs.

Booting from disk, always got me into this virtual Ghost-partition.

Booted from diskette and using Fdisk, 
I changed the active partition back to the original C and could boot into XP.

So far so good, but ?

WinXp Disk-Management now shows my first disk as a 153.53 Gb disk ( iso 120Gb )
It?s divided as follows :
1) 114.48 Gb C-drive NTFS
2) 16 Mb J-drive ( VPSGHBOOT ) FAT32
3) 39.02 Gb Unallocated


Gdisk32 reports the following :

"Fixed disk 1 has overlapping drives"

Disk  Partitions  Cylinders  Heads  Sectors  Mbytes  Model
  1        2           14946     255      63     117246.9  Maxtor 6Y120P0
  2        1           14946     255      63     117246.9  Maxtor 6Y120P0
  3        1           14946     255      63     117246.9  Maxtor 6Y120M0
  4        1           14946     255      63     117246.9  Maxtor 6Y120M0


How can I resolve this and is it save to use this PC in the meanwhile ?


Googling gave only one link :

Unfortunately I don?t understand Japanese ;-(




Any comments or suggestions are welkom.


TIA,
