Hi
Have a problem with Cloning my Hard Drive.
Running Windows XP Home and Using Norton Ghost.
As part of an upgrade, I cloned my "C" drive contents to a SATA drive with no problems. When I replace my old drive with the new, Win XP boots as normal until it gets to the Welcome Splash Screen the system then hangs until I restart manually. The system works perfectly with the old drive, and both drives tested as working.
The only thing I can think of that is preventing it from starting fully is some kind of hardware ID problem. (ie: the system is looking for the old H/Drives assignment number or ID) Does this sound right or am I just cluching at straws. I've used Ghost many times before to Image the drive as a backup in the event of falure, and restored the drive image without any problems. But this has me stumped.
Has anyone done this before, and is there something I've not done?
