Dan, Did you ever find an answer to your issue. I have the same one, but Lenovo support didn't help today. I have tried cloning twice with two separate programs and the same result. I ran a full hard drive test, but everything shows fine. Could it be the size of the hard drive, which for me is 750 GB?

I used Acronis' products (first Disk Director to clone, then True Image to backup/recover--both the latest versions of these products) trying to copy 3 partitions from one drive to another, larger drive (increasing the partition sizes in the process). The system boots (I recovered the "System Reserved" partition, The C drive is Windows7, 64-bit, the D drive is my data drive, and the other (logical) partition contains (VMware) virtual machines, and I did recover the disc signature) and everything *seems* to look good except for the following: 1. Indexing and Searching (both in Windows Explorer and Outlook) are broken. If I go to the Control Panel | Indexing Options, nothing is being indexed and I can't add to indexed locations. 2. I can't log on the Windows Live Messenger Anyone have any thoughts? I'm currently back to running the "current" smaller drive since Windows is pretty useless without search capabilities. Thanks. -Dan Galender _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
