I have a Hitachi Travelstar 160GB HDD for an external drive in a WD Passport case. The HDD in my laptop is also the same just a 200GB. This didn't happen till after I used disk cloner to get Windows 7 RC Build 7100 to the 200GB. Please help.

P.S. The drive works on other comps and has been formatted.

Both hard drives contain an operating system and are identical and loaded on the same machine.
Try changing the name of the Windows directory on the USB drive.
