Can this Rollback error be corrected without Rollback reinstall??
OK, I'm stupid. At midnight I had one of those #$%%$# moments.
I have a single HD with three partition with all partitions protected by Rollback. I was imaging my 2nd internal HD (not Rollback protected) outside Windows. Specifically, I was running Reflect under Windows PE. I realized I didn't have enough image space on my external USB backup drive, I was REAL TIRED and said to myself "there is almost no data on my Rollback protected drive Partition #3, just temporarily put the image there". When the image was 99.9% created, a little voice said "that was REAAAAL STUPID". I wrote to a Rollback protected drive OUTSIDE Windows. If that wasn't bad enough, I then thought, "it's OK, just reboot and restore Rollback to a previous snapshot". I did a reboot, hit HOME, picked the last snapshot and Rollback said it loaded it without error. However, upon reboot, the only thing I now get is:
"NTLDR not found" error. I'm screwed, I'm stupid.
I have Win XP-Pro SP3. I assume the error is from the old Win NT kernel or core and is trying to run the "loader" for the NTFS drive. Correct?
I have a couple of backup images, so I "should" be able to restore from an earlier date at the time the image was created and then reinstall Rollback. If I do a restore, I recognize it will (sigh !) lose all my existing Rollback snapshots.
However, before I do that . . . . is there ANY WAY to correct the "NTLDR not found" error and hopefully be able to re-start and save all my old Rollback snapshots?? I have a couple of dozen snapshots I'd rather not lose.
