I've got XP on an old hard drive at present and I want to move it to a
new drive. The new drive is partitiioned into two drrives with the
largest part already containing rather a lot of media files.

What I want to do is clone the WinXP drive to the smaller of the two
partitions and have that as the boot drive. So far I've had no luck at
all (windows will not boot).

Any ideas what settings I should be using?

Thanks for any help.

Ghost is OK.
After cloning run fdisk /mbr from DOS and set active partition.
 
You my friend ought to give this a try , shut you're
mouth, no one asked you. Take your ghost and stick it.
 
Yeah, Michael. Your English is NTG (none too good),and why don't you stick
to the Polish newsgroup?
 
Ignore the trash, Michal. I always find your contributions to be
reliable and accurate.
 
Son, first - I'm not your friend. Secondly - I never discuss with
spammers, because it's breeding is usually below admissible minimum.

EOD.
 
Hmm... sometime I can find time to help users on other groups than
Polish (for ex. on English, or Hungary groups). It's a chance for me for
training my foreign language knowledge... I hope, my _technical_
knowledge isn't so bad as my English? ;-)

regards,
M.
 
Thx. It's interesting... on Polish group I'have never met with similar
situation... is this group only for people borned in english-speaking
countries ? ;-)
