This is a common problem after cloning hard disks. It occurs
because your drive letters have changed. Windows is now
looking for a swap file on a drive that no longer exists. The
remedy depends on your setup, i.e. if the machine is networked,
or if you have another Win2000/XP machine around, or if you
have a Bart PE boot CD.
