Hi;
This may, or may not, be a w2k problem - apologies if it isn't.
I've got a dinky little shuttle system, running Windows 2000 on a
partitioned hard disk (an 80Gb disk split into a C and a D drive). They're
formatted to NTFS.
The hard disk seems to be on the way out; so I got a similar disk, formatted
it to NTFS, and then got Norton Ghost to clone the C: drive onto the new
disk. It only takes up 3Gb; but it's done nothing funny; the full 80Gb of
the new disk is still there. The plan is to copy the "D:" bits, later.
When I replace the old hard disk, with the new one; the machine hangs; says
there's no system disk. I can't "sys" the new disk - that's not an option;
and besides, Ghost should have done it already, right? If I put the old disk
in as a secondary master, it boots straight to that disk; and the new disk
is visible and useable within windows. But not bootable!
This is the only Windows 2000 PC I've ever had the pleasure of playing with;
and right now, I'd rather have Me - at least I already knew that was c**p
;-(((((
