Afternoon Gents,
We have a customer that asked us to replace a HDD for them that was on it's way out, not a problem we thought. Tried an on-site copy from one to the other using some tool from a UBCD release, it copied but wouldn't boot. Took it back to the office to Ghost but it wouldn't pick up the drives correctly, couldnt test them either. Long story short, replaced the motherboard, plugged in both drives, deleted the partition from the new drive as it was a failed copy, restarted the PC and the old drive started smelling of burning...
We've managed to confirm the data is still on the new drive, but is there anyway to re-activate the deleted partition? The only thing that has been is to create a new full partition so we could recover the data.
Is there anyway we can reactivate the old partition over the top of the existing one? Saves us having to re-install all of the applications that they probably don't have the discs for anymore
