    no boot device detected (after restoring backup)


    I used Paragon to do a full backup of my Windows XP hard drive

    After restoring the backup, i can't boot my system - error "no boot device has been detected, please press any key to reboot"

    Of course the correct HDD is selected in the BIOS (i only have 1 HDD in this computer)

    As far as i remember i have set Paragon to include ALL partitions in the backup, including the system reserved one.

    But when i open my backup file with Paragon i only see the "Local disk" partition

    Any way to fix it and get my system to boot ?

    Remove any CD or DVD from your optical drive.

    Do you have a CD or DVD in any device attached to your system?

    PS; Including System Specs is always useful.
