I cloned a hard drive which had Windows XP on it (the hard drive was going
out) and the new hard drive would not boot unless I booted first to a floippy
with boot.ini, ntldr, and ntdetect.com. Have tried recovery console and
everything else I can think of, but the system WILL NOT boot to the hard
drive. I checked the boot.ini file for improper boot, but everything looks
okay. The old hard drive had two partitions on it, but the hidden partition
was corrupt so I deleted it. I changed the boot.ini file settings
accordingly. Does anyone have any ideas?
