I tried to do a restore, becuase I have a Dell laptop that come with a
partition that has Symatec System Restore on it, and when I used the
startup (CTRL+F11) It said that restore counld not continue becuase of
an unsupported change in the master boot record.

I thought that might be a virus and did a scan but no virus, I also
resized my Windows partition with Partition Magic and created a Linux
Ext2 partition that is Logical

I have the folowing partitions

Name: File Sys:
Size Status Pri/Log

DELLUTILITY (* FAT
39.2MB None Pri
(This is the restore)

Local Disk (C NTFS
29.141.3GB Active Pri
(My main drive)

(*) Extended
6.000.8GB None Pri

Local Disk (* Linux Ext2
6.000.8GB None Log

Local Disk (* CP/M, Concurrent DOS, CTOS|
2.965.1GB | None Pri

(*) Unallocated
7.8MB None Pri


==================

I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the problem, It might be
the Linux Ext2 I think

The ones that came with my computer a DELLUTILITY, Local Disk, and CP/M
Concurrent DOS, and the unallocated.

The resizinbg of your partitions changed the MBR. The Ghost version
installed is set up to look for a specific MBR entry, which is now no longer
there. Unfortunately, there's not much hope it will work again.
