a few days ago i helped some friends with an old computer with w2k where the power-supply "burnt out" they bought a new computer, we installed linux on the new hard-disk, but they needed some programs to run from the old disk putting the old disk in the new computer gave an "inaccessible boot device", after that, i made an image of the old disk with clonezilla, and made that work inside virtualbox that new setup also gave an "inaccessible boot device", then after trying some recovery console option, i decided to use the "repair mode" of the w2k installation cdrom, that didn't take so long, and ... the virtual "old disk" was booting inside virtualbox (inside linux) my friends were happy, i don't know whether xp-installation-cdrom has a repair option, but i assume it does, you could try the same ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Clonezilla-live mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/clonezilla-live
