Trying to upgrade to new drive

R

I am trying to move to a new hard drive and need some
help. I installed a new 120 GB drive, partitioned it in
three partitions like my old drive and then using Drive
Image I copied each partition to the new partitions.
Following the instructions for Drive Image, I then
replaced the old drive with the new drive set as master.
When I tried to reboot, I am requested to insert the Win
XP disk. I do not know what to do from here. I do not
want to do a clean reintall. Any help would be
appreciated.

Do a Repair Install. You will need to reapply updates from Windows
Update. Here's a link to information:

Thanks for your help. I tried that but during the
process of repairing, it stopped asking for the location
of a filed called ASMS. This is on the WinXP pro disk.
When I gave the location of the file, it did not do
anything. I am starting over again, later today.
