If the cloning program did move the XP partition, and isn't XP aware, this is the symptom. The ntfs boot code is disk-relative rather than partition-relative. If the partition it's on starts at a different LBA position on disk, Windows XP won't boot.



it does boot most of the way.

Hmm. Guess we're beyond that point then. Maybe there are ways to use a rescue CD to get at the system logs? I'd have to research that more.


If you can boot a SysRescCD disk, you can use the partclone.ntfsfixboot command to fix the magic number.


Is that a rescue cd downloadable from somewhere?


Yes. <http://www.sysresccd.org>www.sysresccd.org - I find it infinitely useful when doing almost any computer-related task. It's not for beginners, though.


Thanks i had a look and have used gparted before.

Couldn't see partclone that you mention its not partimage is it?
