    I just cloned a hard drive and when I install the new drive, it fails to start XP. Did I miss a step? The recovery console sees the OS and so does bootcfg. The drive light lights up.

    Thanks for you help!

    Acronis.

    Going to a larger HD for the same laptop. Hitachi to WD.

    Boot sequence is correct.

    FIXMBR and FIXBOOT did not correct resolve the problem.

    I think I will try the clone again.
