swap file missing error at boot up

[nn]

Hello,
a self made problem - made a copy of my system HDD (image
to another exactly SAME HDD). Copy was successful, only
problem being that the target contained my windows 2000
swap file.

So, now booting with either the original or the new disk
alone (or either one with another brand new disk) windows
boots up, let's me log in, and then tells that swap file
is missing or corrupt, please do this and that to fix it.
BUT then it AUTOMATICALLY logs me OUT, without having any
chance at all to go and change it.
Safe mode is exactly the same.

Booting from win2k CD, and selcecting repair (w/o
emergency repeir disks), I get to the HDD, but cannot find
any tool to create a swap file, or any sort of way to
avoid the problem with normal boot up...

so, any suggestions what I could do except reinstall
everything?

ta for any help,
Janne
