I had faced same problem "operating system not found" after creating image for the first time with Norton ghost 2003. I had selected my c drive for creating image and it would be saved on d drive. After clicking on few next buttons, it asked me to restart. And then XP never loaded !! .

I had re-installed the WinXp OS SP2

Tip: Always copy important files/folder to some other drive before creating image!

I think you were once warned also by some moderator.

Yes, i have already issued a warning to him.

@Pritam. This is your last chance. You will most definitely face a ban if i catch you doing the same thing again.

Enter recovery console in XP setup,

There type "fixmbr" and "fixboot" (Without quotes).

^^ to do that you first need to insert XP CD, then boot from it.(just adding information)
