What about running GDISK or DELPART to kill everything before you ghost. Been awhile since I was creating XP images but do you need this service partition?

Grr. IBM Thinkpad with that annoying service partition they use running XP Pro. Ghosted drive to image, then image to new drive - same size, model etc. Now at reboot error says A disk read error occurred Press ctrl-alt-del to restart All the data is there, I can boot into sysinternals ERD and see all, chkdsk /r etc. Booted from the XP 6 floppies (MS bug on CD does not get you passed console admin password login) to run fixboot. Nothing. Tried again then fixmbr. Nothing. Ntldr & ntdetect are there. No errors on disk. I even went thru XP install past the F8 agreement and R for repair...is copies system files over. Nothing. Before I call IBM, does anyone have a clue why all appear there, fixboot, fixmbr, chkdsk are doing nothing, XP repairs are doing nothing. After 8 hrs of messing with this, my only hope is to install XP over this, keeping the data but having to reinstall ALL programs for the client. PITA. HELP!!!
