Hi, It looks like as though I have this error either.
Application error 25058 unable to locate enough contiguous free space to load run.
I have created a backup via Symantic Ghost 11.0(Symantic Recovery Disc) for all my computer's external hard disk(686GB) which has four partitions C: OS, System, D: Factory Recovery and HP tools.( from the bootable Sysmantic Recovery Disc, I have chosen "Local" option. Then: 'Disk'. After that, I have chosen "to image". Next, I have been directed to choose the destination. Finally, I have chosen my external hard disk(1TB)
When I have restored(recovered) my computer from this full Image, Ghost 11.0(1998-2000) showed me this error below, although the progress of restoration reached to 85%, and the current restoring partition was 3/4:
Application error 25058 unable to locate enough contiguous free space to load run.
Increase the destination partition size or run Ghost with- NTEXACT Switch.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: when I have created the image, the C partition had about space of 550GB used and 136GB free. However, when I have restored from Image, C partition had about space of 50GB used and 536GB free).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway, when the image failed to restore my computer, I have exited the Ghost and then my computer restart. However, this message showed me:
Windows boot Manager:
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1- Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2- Choose your language settings, and then click "next"
3-Click repair your computer.
If you don't have this disc contact your System adminstrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
file:\Boot\BCD
Status: 0XC0000225
Inf: An error occured while attempting to read the boot configuration data.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After I couldn't do anything, I have brought my Recovery Discs and put the first one in the driver and then pressed ESC to return to the window of choosing booting devices. In that windows I have chosen 'boot' from Driver. Then computer booted from first disc. Finally, Recovery Manager's windows showed me.
I have followed the instructions on that Recovery Manager until I finished from preparing my Windows.
When my Windows started, I was quite surprised that:
*The D: Factory Recovery has been removed and its space merged to C.
*I was when I restart my compute I press F11 to boot to Recovery Manager. However, now this no longer works.
*I was when I set up 'Show hidden files and folders' from the "Folders Options", HP tools partition is shown in my computer because HP tools is originally a hidden partition. This no longer works now, although when I have run computer management, HP tools is shown.
---------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: I have recovered my computer two times with using Factory Recovery partition, which was on D, and Recovery Discs before I have tried restoring with image created by Ghost. In each time, I only went through one restarting of my computer and then I have come to 'preparation my computer for its first use".
However, When I I have tried restoring my computer from Recovery Discs after the restoration failed during Ghost, my computer restarted several times(about 6 times) and in each time it restarted and returned into a window with a title "Software installation". This window(This windows I didn't go thourgh it before.) continues about 30 minutes .Then I have come to 'preparation my computer for its first use"
I would quite highly appreciate your help.
