Can't login to cloned drive

Last response: in Windows XP

I cloned my old boot drive using Norton Ghost and the new drive successfully boots. But when I try to login, the login process starts and then immediately logs me out. It sounds like this might be a drive letter issue. This is a laptop with a single drive so I need to be able to both boot from and login to the same drive. What do I need to do?

Thanks

I searched high and low for a solution - suggestions ranged from copying userinit.exe to wsaupdater.exe and then modifying the registry to running fixmbr and fixboot to other more complex solutions. Nothing worked but simply deleting the partition did
