Hi All,
How did you actually go about moving windows to the new drive, and if
win 7 or later, did you copy both partitions? If you don't mind, what
did you use to copy these partitions?
In the past I have successfully used Clonezilla and Redo Backup to copy
windows partitions and keep them working. Both of these are linux live
CD's which you boot from.
Regarding booting I can only give general advice; Linux is much more
fault tolerant than windows, in other words, when anything minor goes
wrong with windows it simply crashes. With linux, I have actually
plugged in a CDrom with the system on, hard drive spun down then spun up
(crashed) and linux simply sent a reset command to the drive and kept
going as it was! Booting is not an exception really, it has far better
programming to enable it to recover from what may be slightly mashed up
partitioning.
Hope This helps!

Care to explain which thread was hijacked?
All the context I have is:
- Person wonders why linux can boot and windows cannot
- Second person asks first person if windows safemode boots
And that seems entirely reasonable to me. ( Though perhaps different
mail clients format it differently, I'm using GMail )
