    I want to clone my entire Windows XP installation from my two SATA HDDs on to a single IDE HDD

    Will there be any problems with the boot sector?

    Any geeks know how to change the boot sector so it will work?

    EDIT: I just tried booting it: NTLDR is missing

    How can I repair the boot sector?

    I've put ntdlr on there but it's now saying hal32.dll is missing...

    XXClone should do it for you. It has the option to make the target bootable.

    I use to back up my RAID 0 to a IDE drive and for kicks I tried to boot from it and it worked.
