INVALID_BOOT_DEVICE Stop Message

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup_deployment (More info?)

There are many reason why you might get the Stop 0x7b Inaccessible boot
device. You have stated that you're booting the cloned machine then you
state that it's "exact the same computer." Are we talking about two
machines or one machine?

: Hi,
:
: After deploying an image on another computer of the same hardware
configuration running windows 200 pro, I am unable to boot up the cloned
machine. I recieve the stop error message of:
: INVALID_BOOT_DEVICE
: at the system start up. I am loading no SCSI or RAID hard drive. It is
just exact the same computer that I made image of. Why is that? I could not
get any help from Microsoft's articles. Any help will be greatly
appreciated.
