I just took an 80GB hard drive (two partitions and one OEM partition) from a Compaq Deskpro (old, old PC) and cloned it to a new 120GB. I did a sector-by-sector copy in Acronis True Image. Now, when I put either the old drive or new drive back into this old PC, I get a blue screen with INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE. The OS is Windows NT.
I use a USB --> IDE adapter to perform the cloning and the OS on the machine I used is Windows 7 64.
I am on a customer site and this obsolete PC controls a lot of equipment. I have warned them about the risks of not upgrading this ancient system when it is controlling some high priority stuff, but here we are nonetheless.
Any ideas?
