Norton Goback

[Cloud Geek]

my brother has norton goback and he ran gigabyte xpresse recovery to back up his hard drive and now when he starts it says:

"Norton Goback dose not have the abillity to restore the mbr and bpb when it is in doubt about its backup copies.if the mbr can be restored by another utility from a backup copy ,your data should be intact you may boot to floppy to bypass the norton goback boot driver"

any would would be appreciated thanx in advance

I wouldn't mess with that gigabyte xpress crap. I tried it once, and seemed useless. I haven't used goback since the days when it was called "adaptec goback." The program worked fairly well. Sounds like a tough one. I'd try booting from the floppy like it says, unless your lazy like me and didn't make it :) Google around and see what you can find out about bypassing either program.

1. wait until symantec replies

2. make 1 or 2 posts not 6

3. goback is junk get something else, backup your data another way if you plan to use something as crappy as goback

tryed 98 boot disk since it has deltree and tryed the xp cd to see if i could get the recovery console

Symantec bought the program from Roxio. That is why it's now called "Norton GoBack." Anyways...I've heard that program will cause the premature death of your harddrive. I tried it and didn't like it because my harddrive was always active (and noisy) due to the program constantly running. I would recommend Acronis True Image or Norton Ghost 2003. Both of these are great backup programs.
