HDD Cloning Difficulty

[Knack]

The 6GB (WinXP Pro FAT32) HDD in my computer is old and has signs of
impending failure, so I need to replace it with an upgraded one immediately.
The replacement IDE HDD that I purchased is 120GB, so I had to jumper it for
32GB in order for the BIOS (1998) to detect it. I set the translation mode
of the new HDD to LBA (matching the translation mode of the old HDD).

Then I ran Drive Copy 3.5 with full diagnostics and it reported zero errors.
However when I rejumpered the new HDD as primary master I could not get the
WinXP Pro black screen boot menu. Instead I get a BIOS screen:
"Press a key to reboot"

DC3.5 is rated for Win2000 and NTFS but it came out before WinXP. Perhaps it
cannot support WinXP FAT32? Should I have set BIOS translation mode to AUTO
instead of LBA? Does WinXP Pro have some sort of anti-cloning provision that
prevents HDD upgrade?

Boot your machine with a Win98 boot disk from www.bootdisk.com,
then run fdisk.exe to set your active partition.
