I used GHOST to image a dying HDD to a new one. Everything went OK until it
rebooted. Now when I enter the password a screen comes up and says

Your system has no paging file, or the paging file is too small.

It then gives instructions on how to increase the size etc. When I click
on OK, the login screen comes up again, and then the massage. I cannot get
past the login screen.
I have also tried in safe mode, but the same thing....

Any ideas ???


Thanks

This problem occurs sometimes after using Ghost because Windows
has assigned an incorrect drive letter to your system partition. There
are several ways to fix it.

- Boot the machine with a Win98 boot disk from www.bootdisk.com,
then run this command: fdisk /mbr. I have never been able to
use this command successfully but some respondents claim that
it works. It certainly won't do any damage.

- Follow the instructions here:

Post again if unsuccessful - there are a few other methods.
