I loaded recovery console and it said windows is on E:\. i tried copying

My Original C:\ is NTFS and D:\ is NTFS and G:\ is fat32

E:\ and F:\ were my cd-rom drives

How can I change E:\ back to C:\ and get windows up and running.

Thanks

Ghost would not have changed any of your disks or partitions if you
were just backing up not restoring. You shouldn't fiddle with the XP
boot files at all: make sure they are set back to original config..

Sounds as if the autoexec used by Ghost or else the data in the
Virtual Partition created by Ghost is still active, as the backup
aborted. If so, it will always boot into the win98 screen (PC or
MSDOS) until removed. =20

I assume you removed the Ghost boot floppy or CD before rebooting? =20
If not, do so, and you will boot up in XP.

If you did take out the boot floppy or CD, I am not sure how to stop
the PCDOS booting. I suggest you read the handbook to see if it
covers the situation - normally I would say visit the Symantec web
site, but if you can't boot to XP that's a no-brainer.

Good luck.
