OK, Here is the problem. I have cloned my 12 gig to a new IDE 80 gig using
Acronis TrueImage. But when I make this new image the master ide it will not
boot. I get error messages of ARC and HAL problems. Acronis support says
that I must use XP SP2 sysprep utility first on the old drive. Microsoft
support will not help since the original OS ME was OEM enough though I
purchased a retail upgrade to XP. Can somone please explain what I need to
do to make my new image bootable after cloning. What options in Sysprep for
SP2 do I use to prepare the old HD for the cloning? Is there anything I have
to do afterward other that to remove the old HD and make the new image the
primary HD?
