Hi,

How can I do that ?
I tried a simple copy from the Explorer and scopy (keeps ntfs attributes)
but
when I boot, on the new drive, it tells me that lsass.exe is missing...

Thanks
Martin

Use imaging software (Acronis, Ghost) as suggested
by other respondents, or do this:
1. Temporarily connect the disks to the secondary IDE controller
of some other Win2000/XP PC.
2. Make the target partition active.
3. Use xcopy.exe with the appropriate switches to copy the source
disk to the target disk. Make sure to include hidden and system files.
4. Put the target disk into the server.
5. Boot the server with the Win2000 Server installation CD.
6. Select Repair / Recovery Console.
7. Type these commands:
fixboot
fixmbr
 
Hi,

It's not working, I tried Ghost (Clone) and still have lsass.exe missing
error
at boot (just before logon).
If I start in safe mode, i can reach the logon window after I type my passwd
and
hit "enter" it gets back to the logon window without any errors ???
System is :
HD1 - WinXP (primary - ntfs - active)
- Extended
- Win2k (logical - ntfs - empty)
- Data (logical - ntfs - empty)
HD2 - Win2K Srv (primary - ntfs - active) (it's a master DC with AD)
I wanna move HD2 to Win2k partition.

Thanks

Ghost does not copy files selectively - it copies the whole lot
or nothing!

You need to do a little trouble-shooting of your own. The following
steps come to the mind:
1. Check if lsass.exe exists on the source disk.
2. Ghost the source disk to the target disk.
3. Disconnect the source disk.
4. Connect the target disk as the primary master disk.
5. Boot the machine with a Win98 boot disk from www.bootdisk.com.
6. Run ntfsdos.exe (www.sysinternals.com).
7. You now have access to drive C: of the target disk. Check
if lsass.exe exists.

That's what I did I used Ghost and it cloned the HD2 - Win2k partition to
HD1 - Win2K partition.

it's there... Win2K Srv on HD2 is booting normally.
2. Ghost the source disk to the target disk.

i'm using source partition to taget partition...
Ghost HD2 to HD1 won't help me, I've to keep
WinXP and data partitions on HD1.
3. Disconnect the source disk.
4. Connect the target disk as the primary master disk.
5. Boot the machine with a Win98 boot disk from www.bootdisk.com.
6. Run ntfsdos.exe (www.sysinternals.com).

I don't have problems accessing the tree on the partition after the ghost
from WinXP HD1.
7. You now have access to drive C: of the target disk. Check
if lsass.exe exists.

lsass.exe exists on the destination partition (HD1 - Win2k)

Is there a possible security issue with SID when cloning a Win 2000 Srv PDC
?
