System wont start after copying active partition with Drive Image 7

R

I used Drive Image 7.0 to copy my active booting partition to a new larger
hard disk. Then, I replaced my old hard disk by the new one. My problem is
that the system hang on logon. I get a windows XP welcome screen but it is
not the usual logon screen showing all the users accounts. The mouse and
keyboard are responding (for example, when I hit 5 time the SHIFT key, I get
the usual "remanent" message) but I can't pass through this welcome screen.
Alt-Tab, CRTL-ALT-DEL or any combinations of keys won't do anything. Fail
safe mode does not change anything.

Anyone has a clue ?

Try rerunning the drive image and watch for any possible
errors. I've also had drive image fail before but on a
second go it worked.

Copy and paste your boot.ini file in a reply here. Boot.ini is a
system hidden file in the root of your drive that contains the XP boot
information.
