Use the default Kaspersky Windows Unlocker tool for detecting and removing malware that locks the Windows operating system.Symantec, Norton Utilities, Norton Disk Doctor, and UnErase are registered. Kaspersky Rescue Disk is a free tool for scanning and disinfecting the operating systems that cannot be accessed directly due to infection. A "signature failure" error message may also be displayed.Kaspersky Rescue Disk Version 18.0.11.0. Since the boot is dependent on coding contained in all 4 sectors, the system hangs when it attempts to boot to the incomplete master boot record. Any ideasThe master boot record on affected systems is comprised of 4 sectors, as opposed to the single sector expected by Norton Ghost.
No special switches are needed for this step.5. Restore the image created in step 2. After the image is created, make the predesktop area visible on the target system by disabling it.4.
To clone a Thinkpad hard drive, use Ghost 2003.2. In particular, Anthony Barron put together this document, which has some information that was lacking in my original procedure.1. This procedure turns out to be much more complex than it ought to be, even for experienced 'power users'.This web page contains accumulated wisdom on this topic, from myself and others.
To do this, press F1 at boot, go to Security | IBM Predektop Area, and disable it.4. You must disable the IBM Predesktop area (hidden portion of hard drive), or cloning will not work. You will be running the version of Ghost that runs on top of DOS.3. You can use a bootable CD or (possibly) a bootable USB drive.
Option #1: Use your Thinkpad to do the hard drive copy:1. Make sure to get the correct model for the X40.2. Buy the new 60 GB hard drive from IBM. It is very easy to inadvertently erase your entire hard drive if you make a mistake with the following procedure.1. If the data on your laptop is valuable, be *sure* to back it up to CD or DVD or a USB hard drive before attempting the following operation. I had best luck with "-ib" but Anthony found that either one works if you do everything else right.1.
You may need to temporarily set the jumper on one drive for "CS" (aka Cable Select)1. Hook up the old and new hard drives to the desktop computer via the adaptors.3. Buy two laptopIDE-to-desktopIDE adaptors2. Option #2: Use a desktop machine to do the hard drive copy (This option was figured out by Richard Spors)1. Put the new hard drive into the HDD adaptor, then put the adaptor into the ultrabase dock and dock the computer.3. Buy the "ThinkPad 2nd HDD Adapter for Ultrabay Slim"3.
Norton Rescue Disk Install For SystemWorks
On IBM Laptops, by default the BIOS hides part of the hard drive so that even Norton Ghost cannot see it. If you buy Ghost with Norton SystemWorks, Ghost must be installed in a separate step - the main install for SystemWorks does not install Ghost.2. I used Ghost 2003 which is included with Norton SystemWorks premier, but you can also buy Ghost separately.
Choose "Ghost Advanced -> Clone". Then, under "Security", change "Access IBM Predesktop Area" to "Disabled". To "unhide" the hidden area, invoke the BIOS on bootup by pressing "F1". You must "unhide" this hidden area before successfully using Ghost to image the hard drive.
NOTE: The consensus is now that you must run Ghost from DOS to get the clone to work. The X40 uses more of the boot track than just the boot sector, and if you do not specify this switch, the machine will not boot from the new hard drive. This option causes Ghost to copy the entire book track, rather than just the boot sector.
The first is to defragment your hard drive in Windows, and then retry. If this happens, you have two options. Obsolete: If your old hard drive is nearly full and highly fragmented, Ghost may complain that it does not have enough contiguous space to create its virtual partion.
Install new hard drive into the Thinkpad itself:1. This is even more complicated and I won't explain it here.4. The other option (besides defragmenting) is to run Ghost off of a separate boot device. If the Defagmenter complains that it has less than 15% free space, you can free up some space by emptying the cache in your internet browser(s) and by emptying the desktop trash. This may take several hours.
Instead, move the new hard drive into the thinkpad itself. When I did this, it did something to Windows that made it unbootable, and I had to redo the Ghosting.2. DO NOT attempt to boot the machine off of the *new* hard drive while the new hard drive is in the dockstation.
You do not remove the hard drive screws (and shouldn't). Remove this frontpiece by gently prying the tabs away from the hard drive screws. Once you've removed the old hard drive from the machine, it will still be attached to the black frontpiece. Then, take the old hard drive out of your machine by removing the screw on the underside at the left front corner of the thinkpad and pulling the drive out (instructions for this are in your original Thinkpad documentation). First, remove the new hard drive from the dock station and from the dock station HDD adaptor.
Shutdown, then boot into the BIOS (press F1).3. Verify that the new hard drive size is bigger by right-clicking on the hard drive.2. (If it doesn't, try reGhosting, this time by running Ghost from DOS mode). Boot the machine to verify that everything works with the new hard drive.
A copy of the white paper is here. Austin, TX 78701'* John King pointed out several bits of useful information: First, there is an IBM "white paper" which discusses the hidden partition, and describes some alternative strategies for backing it up and restoring it. You're done! If these directions worked for you and you're happy, I accept beer: 'Bill Mark 1605 Pearl St.
Norton Rescue Disk How To Do It
I'mFairly confident that Ghost can handle the old-style hidden servicePartition albeit the Thinkpad BIOS must first be told to let it beAnd also, since the newer HPA feature involves the BIOS telling theHDD controller to hide and remap the HDD sector range, ghosting andRestoring *must* only be done on a Thinkpad and not outside someNormal PC like what was done by my Joe ComputerGuy. His description of how to do it is hereAlso, in your web page write-up, you might want to inform ThinkpadUsers that IBM uses 2 kinds of HPAs as mentioned in their white-paper.The old one used a hidden 'service partition' ala Dell today, whileNewer Thinkpads will use the HPA as described in the white-paper. Off of a separate boot disk) to get the process to work correctly.* CH Tan figured out how to clone the drive over the network. The consensus is now that it is necessary to run Ghost in DOS mode (e.g. However, the procedures describe there have complications of their own.John King and Anthony Barron both had trouble with the original procedure I described above.
