MMC??

After booting to my Slave Hard Drive (a clone of the Master),
I decided to do some cleanup there. I tried Defrag, but it
wouldn't open and gave me an error window, saying MMC
(Microsoft Management Console, as I recall it) was not
available or I didn't have access to it. I own this whole
system and don't share it with anybody, so one would think
that I might not be denied access to MMC. Not that I
asked for access or knew it existed.....

Yes, I can defrag it as the F-Drive while running C:, but
is this MMC thing something that I ought to fix? Like, it's
a clone to use as a replacement when the Master dies, and
then I'd sure want full capability.
 
Sounds like youre clone software did'nt quite copy all the files.XP does'nt
copy very well due to its security software,& most clone software is ok with
any older windows OS,but with xp it might not work 100%.Try booting to
xp cd with the problem hd running solo,do a repair installation,or a sure
software for cloning hd to hd is XCOPY,this is already installed to xp by
microsoft.
 
Thanks for the input, Andrew, but I think that only the
first statement you made is applicable. I've done this CLONING
with GHOST 10 (and its progenitor, Drive Image 7), dozens and
dozens of times, and this is the first malfunction.

As for XP CD....none came with this HP OEM machine, so that's out.
And correct me if I'm wrong, but it's been my impression that
XCOPY is great for copying files, but won't copy the registry
or master boot record.

I'll repeat the process to see if it comes clean as it did
every time before.

Later report: I did nothing other than boot up again to
that drive, and it ran fine with no complaints. Well,
experience says.........it'll be back.
