I just got a new drive because my old drive was failing. I cloned the old
drive and now I'm having entry point issues. the typical message is:

(application name) entry point not found. The procedure entry point can not
be located in the dynamic link library kernel32.dll.


I have tried unintall and reinstall one of the applications and it comes up
with the same error.
 
Kernel32.dll is certainly right at the heart of windows. Saying 'no entry
point' in a dll is like saying you are using the wrong version. The app was
expecting a version of the dll that contained some function that it wanted to
use (enter). Since you mirrored the drive, I'm not sure how you would end up
with a kernel32.dll that was the wrong version.
Two posibilities occur to me. Changed hardware, or some failure to copy the
Permissions for the system. The Permissions might be changed with taking
'ownership' of the drive for the 'system'. Changed hardware, you would know.
