I'm preparing for the installation of a new hard drive on my WIN XP
SP1A (NTFS) system. I am planning on using Drive Image 2002 to do a
disk-to-disk clone of my existing boot drive (and associated
partitions) to the brand new drive, so I though I'd better create a set
of Drive Image rescue bootable floppy disks so that I could just boot
off them and go straight into DI after connecting the power and IDE
cables to the new drive. That went fine, but when I went to boot from
them, my system complained about A:\IBMDOS.COM...I forget what the
exact error message was.
Now that I think more about this, maybe I don't need to boot from the
rescue disks, but I am concerned that XP will not like the brand new
drive when I boot with it installed. Or will it be OK and I can just
use the full Windows version of DI to do the clone?
How does one make a set of DI rescue boot floppy disks that will work in
an XP/NTFS system?
Thanks,
Bob
