Windows 2000 moving to a new disk

Bill H.

I'm changing to a different boot disk.

I used Ghost to create an image file of the "old" hard drive, and then to
put that image onto the new drive.

However, I can't log into Win 2k any more on the new drive. I get the logon
screen, enter the info, and it just shuts down. If I try safe mode, after
trying to log in, I'm taken back to the login screen.

What's going on?

Thanks.

Hello Bill H.,

Check out this one, even that nothing is stated about shutting down:

After Ghosting, you immediately shutdown the PC set the new disk as master,
old as slave or disconnected it?

It's a SCSI system, so after ghosting, I simply use the scsi bios to change
the boot drive. I left the "old" disk connected.

Interesting.

I did disconnect all the other disks. Now it knows me (remembers my logon
name) but I get that msg about paging file.

I don't know now to fix that issue since there is no domain controller, etc,
as mentioned in that article.

Now what?

Thanks!

ps. You'd think safe mode would still allow windows to start, but no...

The fdisk/MBR got it working again.

Thanks to all!
