Hello all,

Our hard drive is dying and is small for Server 2000 SBS (40 gig total). So, I bought a 200 gig hard drive and wanted to clone the original hard drive. It seemed to work well enough, but then there was the dreaded M: Exchange problem. I am using MaxBlast 4 and I was cloning one disk with a C: partition and D: partition on one drive (not my doing, someone elses work I inherited).

After the clone my partitions were larger on the 200 gig and I was pleased, except when I tried to replace the old drive with the new one, and it would not work becuase of the lsass.exe error. Bascially, It cloned the "real" partitions, but I did not have a M: Exchange.

So my two question are these:

1) How do I clone with the Maxblast 4 so I can have the M: Exchange show up? Or do I somehow add this later, and will that prevent me from having our work emails migrated (I don't want everyone to lose their inbox!)

2) How do I change my new drive letters back to C: and D: instead of using Disk Management, which says programs will stop working.
