Driveimage 7.0 boot stops before login

[ramair]

I created a copy of my C: Windows XPSP2 drive using DriveImage 7.0. The
copy is now on my F: drive and I made it an active primary partition.
When I try to boot off of the copy, WindowXP starts but stops just
before the login screen. (I am using XP-Home Edition and usually see
the family's usernames.) Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This is probably due to your boot.ini file referencing the C: drive. Note
that if you change the reference in boot.ini, Windows probably will let you
log on but will have many problems and errors since references throughout
the registry will point to the wrong drive.
