I cloned a 2GB HD from my Laptop on my XP Tower to a 20GB HD. I put the
2GB on my USB as G: and installed the 20GB as a slave which came up as
F:. Cloned OK but when I put 20GB in the Laptop it comes up as E:
Any Way to fix this

Hi Robert.

Have you tried to change the drive letter using 'computer managment'?

click on... start, settings, control pannel, administrator tools, computer
managment, storage...
This will list all the IDE or SATA devices you have installed in your pc.

You can right click any of theese and change their drive letter. Do be
careful as if you have installed anything which requires info from your 'E'
drive, you will have to re-map the paths to your data..
Good luck

Jason

For Norton GHOST

Bob:
This problem frequently occurs when following the disk cloning operation the
user boots to the newly-cloned HD with *both* HDs connected, i.e., the
source & destination disks. The correct process is to disconnect the source
disk following the disk cloning operation and initially boot *only* to the
newly-cloned HD.

I'm assuming your laptop's 2 GB HD (your source disk) contained the XP OS
and was originally designated the C: drive, and that's the drive letter you
want your 20 GB to retain; that it was temporarily installed in a USB
enclosure only for purposes of carrying out the disk cloning operation.

If that is so, re:clone along the lines I've described.
