Recovered XP freezes on boot

I have just wiped my hard drive and using Acronis recovered an XP build to a primary partition. I have recovered this backup before on the same hard drive before I needed to wipe it and that recovered XP build booted fine. But now the same backup freezes on the blue part of the boot screen.

Any ideas appreciated.

I've had problems with Acronis not being consistent. If you're not infected or anything like that, then shoot them an email as their customer support was good when I contacted them for help (though we didn't get the problem fixed...).

If you're recovering from something like an infection, you might need other help, like a fix to your MBR (Master Boot Record). I don't know if Acronis has a utility for this or not.
