Hi to everyone.
Need help. Have a strange problem. I have made a image of partition from 8G hard drive (WinXP OS ). Then I have installed new 43G hard drive, and tried to restore partition from the image to that new hard drive. I have spent about 10 hours, but always get error when tried to start computer after restoring image – “Error loading operation system”. And one time different error – “No operation system”. Could somebody explain to me what could be a problem? Thanks in advance. |

Restore the image to the exact same size partition - and see if Windows will start. If it will, then use Partition Magic to adjust partitions to your preference.

Ok, I have figured out something. Looks to me that it is hard drive problems, but I could be wrong. I did the same with another hard drive Maxtor 10 G (disk clone) – no problems at all. Computer was ready in 25 min.
The hard drive which did not work – IBM Deskstar model: DTLA-307045 46.1 G. Does anybody know any particular problems with that type of hardware or how to fif the problem I had? Thanks in advance. |
