restores image to new drive but when booting it doesnt go past xp blue window
Posted by Charlie on August 18th, 2005


created and verified a image from a eight gig quantum drive, then
imaged the new Maxtor drive, it went smoothly but all I get is the Win
xp logo, the mouse moves around. even in safe mode.

Im puzzled

Thanks

Is this image from a different PC? If so XP will "fread out" about all the
hardware changes.

Boot from your XP cd and do a Windows repair. Caution! You will have to
reload SP2 and all updates since then.

I finally got it to work.
It was registering as a secondary Master even though it was the only
hard drive installed.
I changed the jumper and re- ran the Maxtor software and that did it.

Thanks
