Lo,

As the list may remember i am trying to clone my failing t60 Thinkpad HDD to a new HDD. I did a full disk clone image of the hard drive in one go from the failing HDD to an image on
my Desktop using Macrium reflect

I then proceeded to reimage using my e-SATA external dock onto the on to the new HDD. Then the first problem arose bizarrely Macrium reflect doesn't allow a full in one go disk
image restore! :(

I had to restore each of the 4 partitions one by one.

On insertion into my t60 windows xp boots past the "knight riders" progress bar and onto the xp splash screen were it sticks with no HDD activity but the trackpoint works.
Safe mode doesn't work either.

However my w2k OS install (2nd partition) boots up fine with only the odd symptom that the screen resolution is set to 640 480 on first boot since changed to 1280 1024.

Is xp more heavily protected by Microsoft than w2k and this is the reason i am not
allowed to image to another drive?
Any other reason why it didn't work?

thanks for your time
