I did a "full disk" backup of a new Vista laptop using Ghost 2003. Since
Partition Magic would not work, I repartitioned the hard drive using
Gdisk. The full disk restore using Ghost 2003 ran fine, but the system
would not boot. Would replacing the Vista master boot record fix it? If
yes, can I just use a copy from any Vista computer?

Thanks for your responses to this list. They were very informative.
