Hello,
I posted earlier today with the problem I'm having. I've
got a bit more info to add. I transferred data from one
80GB hard drive to a second 80GB hard drive using Ghost.
All the data transferred (I checked Explorer of each
drive). I then removed the original drive and set the new
drive to master. I booted and got the Windows XP splash
screen with the animated color bar and then a couple
seconds later the following error message: "Isass.exe --
not enough quota" and in the window ""Not enough virtual
memory or paging file quota to complete specified
operation." The computer then shuts down and reboots, ad
infinitum, until I turn it off. I haven't been able to
find any info in the KB on this. Any help is greatly
appreciated. The computer is a Dell Optiplex, P4, 512MB
DDR, XP pro.
 
If you can boot with the original drive you could try to
copy over the pagefile. It is a hidden system file that
is probably in the root directory. You would need to go
into the folder options to view the hidden system files.
Another option may be to have Windows create another
pagefile on the new drive. You can do this by right
clicking on My Computer, click on Advanced tab, click on
the Settings button in the Performance Options section,
click on the Advanced tab. Click on the Change button in
the Virtual Memeory section and tell it to put the
pagefile on the new drive.
 
That did it! I saw that there was no swap file on the new
drive. Went into virtual memory settings and corrected
this. Works fine now. Thank you very much.
MJ
