i'm trying to clone a win2k disk from an old dell computer to a new
compaq presario computer. on the old computer i reconfigured the IDE
drivers to the generic "standard" controller, made a disk image with
Acronis True Image, and then copied that disk image to the hard drive
on the new computer. the initial boot of the new computer with the
image from the old computer works fine -- everything boots up as you
would expect, and then it starts going thru it's routine finding the
new hardware on the new computer and configuring it in. in the
process, it changes the standard IDE setup to what's on the new
computer -- Intel 8280 parallel and serial ultra ATA controllers. but
then when i go to re-boot, at that point i get a blue screen
"inaccessible_boot_device" error -- and i'm dead in the water.
anyway around this or is cloning a drive in this situation just never
going to work?
