There has been a signature failure after using Symantec Ghost to deploy image to Lenovo Thinkpad
After deploying an image and trying to boot windows you receive an error “There has been a signature failure”
This message comes up as a result of the active partition being set to boot from the built-in recovery partition on the hard drive. Most Lenovo laptops come with a hidden recovery partition used for the rescue and recovery software. To fix the issue get a bootable floppy disk or usb drive with fdisk. Boot from the device and use Fdisk to set the proper mark the proper partition as active then run fdisk /mbr and restart. You could also use a Ghost 2003 cd and run gdisk which is their version of fdisk. Run gdisk 1 /act /pri:1 assuming you want partition 1 to be the active, bootable partition.
Boot to ghost 2003 cd\support gdisk, gdisk 1 /act /pri:1 to set the first partition as the active one or use fdisk and set partition 1 to active and run fdisk /mbr
