Hi there,
I've cloned my old c:\ drive to a partition on my new drive, using
Norton Ghost,
but I can't get to the login screen. The new drive is sitting in
exactly the same hardware, on the same IDE cable, etc, etc. (ie, the
only thing different in the system is the new hard drive)
Setting the new drive as master, and disconnecting the old drive, the
image boots up fine, goes through the black bootup screen with the
windows logo and progress bar, clears to a blue screen which has the
xp logo on it and the bars top and bottom (which would usually have
the login details in the middle)...
but that's where it stops. The mouse is alive, but I don't get a login
box.
I have found posts relating to this, but no solutions... I've heard
sysprep mentioned but I have no idea what it is or whether it would
help me.
Does anyone know what is stopping XP getting to the login screen?
Cheers,
Matt
