Be careful to select the correct hard disk before making any changes! It's a Windows program, so you can run it directly in Windows 7 (start it using Run as administrator). You could download Symantec's free partition table editor, PTEDIT32, from here: ftp :///public/english_us_canada/tools/pq/utilities/PTEDIT32.zip

Ptedit32 windows 7 trial#
The trial is extremely limited in functionality, so it probably will not allow you to edit the partition table.

I wasn't aware that you were using the trial version of Disk Director. The TI and DD recovery environments are Linux-based, so your symptom probably means that your hardware isn't completely supported. Or, it could be that TI tried and incorrectly modified the P-Table entry when restoring. So it could be that your original Windows 7 image restore was guilty of writing an incorrect partition table entry, and TI simply copied the faulty P-Table to the restored image.
Ptedit32 windows 7 code#
TI has recently added some code to allow partitions with 2048-sector offset rules (like yours) to be restored and to maintain the 2048-sector offset. It isn't clear whether Windows 7 Image Restore or Acronis True Image (TI) was the culprit here. Both TI and DD normally will use the older 63-sector offset rules when making partition table entries. If the change is incorrect, you can go back and restore the current value for number of sectors. I would recommend making this change while booted to the Disk Director boot CD while Windows is shut down. Repeat the test you did in your reply #4 and see if things now line up properly. Go back to the view as partition table setting in Disk Director and change the value for number of sectors to (250059369), then save the sector. I think that you can fix this by editing the partition table. Therefore, the value for number of sectors should be (250059369). Keep in mind that the two displays differ by 1 since the P-Table starts counting from sector 0 (in other words, the first sector on the disk is called sector 0 instead of sector 1). The number of sectors entry is shown as (250059376) whereas the value shown in the partition boot record is (250059368). I think that the partition table entry is the faulty one.

was pleasantly surprised that trial software allowed me to restore an entire partition from a Windows image backup (vhd) Windows 7 Image recovery is "limited" (and thats being kind) I think I may try the suggestion of shrink and reallocate to see what happens.īottom line.

again a different volume from the one that had a hardware failure. Eventually I gave up using Windows 7 image restore and recovered my data from the hardware failure using Acronis True Image ! So now I have just this NTFS boot sector issue. I am faiirly certain that the volume with the CHKDSK second NTFS boot sector problem was OK until all these failed image restores. All of these image restores failed for various reasons (my favorite useless error message was 0x80070490 element not found). As part of my recovery attempts, I tried to use Windows 7 image restore on the failed hardware volume and on this volume. I had a hardware failure on a different drive which has since gone RMA. Somehow the partition doesnt have the correct number of sectors but apparently it did at some point ? There is a long story about what has happened here. Looking at sector 250061416 I can see the NTFS backup sector. failed to read 250061423īut sector 250061423 is greater then the calculation for where the backup NTFS should be - 250061416

Using Acronis Disk Editor on a different partition with no problems :īig total sectors (293042175) + hidden sectors (2048) = 293044223
