Copy Win2000 to new HD

M

Hi,

I have 2 hard disks in my machine. 20Gb (2 10Gb partitions on IDE-0) and an
old 3Gb (single partition on IDE-1).

I want to transfer Win2000 from my 3Gb disk to the second 10Gb partition on
my main hard disk.

I have used Norton Ghost to copy the 3Gb drive to the second 10Gb partition
perfectly. My boot loader currently looks like this when booting off the
old 3Gb disk :-

[boot loader]
timeout=10
default=C:\
[operating systems]
C:\="Microsoft Windows"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000
Professional" /fastdetect

I have altered rdisk to value (0) and partition to value (2) to boot off the
second partition of my first hard drive but I still get the error message :
unable to find <Windows root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe. Which indictes to me
that I
possibly haven't altered the boot loader corectly. What can I do?

Thanks.
