Restore Complete but Stuck on DRMK

Hi,
 
My restore partition was not working for months, but yesterday I just wanted to try it again, so I run the PC Restore and suddenly it was successful :smileysurprised: however when the system reboots I get
 
Loading PBR for descriptor 1...done
 
Loading DRMK version 8.00
 
and thats it... the HDD LED stays on constantly and no message after that. I waited for 15 mins but no result, also tried restarting several times but I am always stuck with Loading DRMK version 8.00...
 
DSRFIX showed me that the MBR is ok... is there any suggestions on fixing this problem? thanx

    Looks like it is trying to load the Dell diagnostic Image from the hard drive.? Never seen thes one before.
    Anyone?

    Thanks Dell.
     
     
    We have a saying around here, If It ain't broke don't fix it. A good rule of thumb.
     
    Maybe you should make a new post, now that you know what happened. Meanwhile I will start digging for an answer.

    those tools are kinda unreliable. i remember running it on my gx280 system and it killed the entire utility partition. had to restore from backup
