Hi all, I have a problem with my wife computer. I have just updated her HD from a ata 60gb HD to a Sata 80gb . I have used disk image 7 that has drive to drive copy. After copying the drive and unhooking the old drive , Windows boots with the windows xp home and just before login freeze up. At first I thought it was the drivers for the Sata but then xp wouldn't boot at all. I have also tryed to boot in safe mode ,, it will let me start into safe mode but stop at login. Anyone?
 
You need to boot from your XP CD and run through the repair. You cannot
change basic hardware with XP and expect it to work straight off.

Ok I have done the Repair (didn't work) tryed chkdsk /r (didn't work) I have tryed to reinstall xp as repair and now I get a error Multiple_IRP_Complete_Requests
do you know what error that is? I know that upgrading a HD wasn't going to be easy. but the way drive image 7 talked about changing drive (so easy) I decide to upgrade... looks like its going to be a big problem... :-(
 
Sorry I don't know what Multiple_IRP_Complete_Requests is. Guessing you
still have the 60G drive you can put that back on and you should be back to
your original state and you could transfer the contents again and just try
the repair a second time. (you never know)
Using a SATA drive is beyond my experience, have you checked the
manufacturers website for any pointers. But I would have thought the repair
would have sorted it, do you have any XP drivers for the new HD that could
be used when prompted in the windows install. (I think you are asked to
press F6 for 3rd party drivers)

Sorry I can't help you more.
