Restore Problem

[Sam]

Hi.
I try to explain my problem very quickly:

Previously, my HDD (140GB) had 2 partitions:
- FIRS PARTITION - Windows Server 2008 (100GB)
- SECOND PARTITION - Windows XP (40GB)

1. I made an image backup of Windows XP partition (using Macrium Reflect
free edition: I used it for vista and it worked well).
2. I formatted entirely my Hdd and I joined both partitions in only one
(140GB)
3. I restored Windows XP Partition Image (I have to put manually
MBR,ntrld,boot.ini and ntdetect.com in order to boot it correctly)
4. Windows Xp starts but at logon it stops running.

N.B. I used notebook so there are NO hardware differences.
Only one difference is partition size but Macrium Reflect should restore win
XP on a partition with different size from original.
I activated my license...i cannot reactivate it anymore. I, also, have
configured it with work software.

How can I solve the problem?
Thanks.

Sam, on the old configuration WinXP was on the D: partition. You then
fdisked or combined both partitions into one. Now the
C: drive. You restored the image of XP from D: to C: All the paths
are referenced to D: That might have something to do with your problem.
