I don't know if this type of question belongs to ServerFault or SuperUser.
If I mess with the source partition (eg. deleting and recreating a bigger partition) where the OS was originally installed, when restoring the partition from an image in sda2 using Clonezilla, Windows will complain and be unable to repair. I sometimes get error 0xc0000225, sometimes will just enter an endless boot/reboot cycle.
I also tried booting from the DVD and using the Repair procedure, to no avail.
A restored Ubuntu works just fine, so it looks like Windows is more picky.
Does someone know what can cause this and what can be done about this?
Thank you.
Update:
After hitting the Repair option in the failing Windows, it runs for about 15mn, and fails with the following error message:
Root cause found:
Unspecified changes to system configuration might have caused the problem.
Repair action: System files integrity check and repair
Result: Failed. Error code = 0x490

If this is Windows Vista or Windows 7, you may be restoring the Windows partition without the small (~95mb) System partition.
If you've just resized the partition, the identifier might have changed, and you may need to adjust the boot settings in the BCD.
