moving to a new disk

[Guest Bill H.]

I'm changing to a different boot disk.

 

I used Ghost to create an image file of the "old" hard drive, and then to

put that image onto the new drive.

 

However, I can't log into Win 2k any more on the new drive. I get the logon

screen, enter the info, and it just shuts down. If I try safe mode, after

trying to log in, I'm taken back to the login screen.

 

What's going on?

 

Thanks.

Hello Bill H.,

 

Check out this one, even that nothing is stated about shutting down:

After Ghosting, you immediately shutdown the PC set the new disk as master,

old as slave or disconnected it?

Re: moving to a new disk

 

It's a SCSI system, so after ghosting, I simply use the scsi bios to change

the boot drive. I left the "old" disk connected.

Re: moving to a new disk

 

Interesting.

 

I did disconnect all the other disks. Now it knows me (remembers my logon

name) but I get that msg about paging file.

 

I don't know now to fix that issue since there is no domain controller, etc,

as mentioned in that article.

 

Now what?

 

Thanks!

ps. You'd think safe mode would still allow windows to start, but no...

The fdisk/MBR got it working again.

 

Thanks to all!
