hello every one
i know that this is a mac os x forum and not windows, but i think some thing is wrong with my windows and my mac pro.
about a month ago i was using my windows vista home premium with my mac osx on the same hdd, then i decided to give my mac some space alone, so i bought a new hdd for my windows, so yah i used an application before i don't remember the name but it's job is to allow me to have the permission to read/write on an ntfs drive, then i used the disk utility to back up then restore to an another hdd.
so when i finished every thing i removed my old windows from the boot camp and started with a new windows as boot camp also, but it always freeze forever when my windows is preparing my desktop information.
and thats my story with my mac and windows, i know i messed up alot, but is there a way to fix it?
i even tried to run my windows with my parallels but it didn't work out.

Mac FUSE with NTFS-3G? Anyway, I'd guess Disk Utility restore is what messed you up. The Windows install disc should have a "repair" option but maybe the drive you restored to isn't formatted properly due to NTFS-3G, or something like that. Might have to reinstall Windows if you can't repair it.

if tried the repair option from the windows installation disk, but it didn't work.
i guess i have to start all over again with windows :mad:
and i guess thats another reason to have a mac and not a pc ;), i only use my windows for 4 games:-
crysis
fallout 3
left 4 dead
the orange box

if these games where available on Mac's i would never think about installing windows :(
