This is a follow up to an earlier thread. I have a system with Win98
on physical drive "C" and WinXP on physical drive "D" in a dual boot
setup using the WinXP boot loader. I want to install a new larger hard
drive to replace the "D" drive. I have an Addonics External USB2.0
Enclosure that can mount a DVD or hard drive. I bought a Western
digital WD2000JB hard drive and tried to use Norton Ghost to clone the
"D" drive to the new drive. Everything appeared to go OK. The files
and directories appear to be the same as on the old "D" drive. Then I
installed the new hard drive in place of the old "D" drive and booted.
I got the usual boot menu, and Win98 boots OK, but if I select WinXP,
it starts to load, but then does a reboot, and never gets WinXP loaded.
I have no idea why it is not working. I had the jumper set as master
while doing the cloning since there is only one ribbon cable connector
in the Addonics. Then when I installed it in the computer, I changed
the jumper to the slave position. Would this cause a problem?
Any advice will be appreciated.
