I recently upgraded the hard disk in my computer. I
partitioned, formatted and made the new disk active with
the Disk Management utility in Windows XP.
Then I cloned the old drive to the new one with Norton
Ghost. After that operation completed, I disconnected the
old drive and made the new drive a single master on the
Primary IDE. Booted the computer up to the Windows XP cd
and ran the "repair console" choosing the FIXBOOT option.
I rebooted and am at the point now where the computer
just "hangs" at the light blue Windows XP screen.
It appears that "most" of the files were copied. The
reason I say most is because when I did a comparison of
the old and new drives (used space) there appeared to be a
difference in total bytes of around 31,172,239. Was
something of importance not copied over?
Also, I didn't mention that I have 4 separate user
profiles on this hard drive. Would having separate user
profiles make a difference in the way it boots up?
I have been on this for about 2 weeks and really would
like to complete this project. Can someone PLEASE offer
assistance on this?
