Migrate Easy problem

[awake]

Hi,

I've just used ME (latest trial version downloaded this week) to image my 120GB system partition on 160GB SATA drive onto a new 300GB SATA. Used the manual option though as I only wanted an equivalent 120GB partition set up for system on the new drive (I will set the remainder up manually as a 2nd partition)

The process seemed to go smoothly and following system switch off, unplugging of old C drive, replacing with new drive (i.e switching SATA cable from old to new), reboot into XP has gone smoothly.

HOWEVER, one glitch remains... upon executing a soft reset i.e "Start, Shutdown, restart system" or pressing soft reset button on front of PC, the system doesnt reboot past the windows logo screen (which, incidently takes a long time to come up - much longer than normal). If I switch the PC off (power down) and on again, reboot is fine... I've tried various combinations of soft and hard reset, and the results are consistent i.e soft reset = hanging (aka that described by a lot of others on here who arent able to reboot at all), hard reset = everything OK.

Incidently, I bought 2 300GB new drives (Maxtor 6V300F0's) and have replicated this problem on both drives.
Final detail (which I recken is irrelevant, but you never know), the new drive/s are SATA2, jumpered down to SATA.

Any ideas? thoughts?

Any help would be much appreciated... Thanks
