Not booting After recovery

[Tsikis]

Hi there.
I made a full backup to a 2nd hdd by the automatic wizard in winxp and then i tried with the boot cd to recover another pc with exactly the same hardware but another HDD (40GB both just differnet brands) but after the recovery the pc wont boot up.
Any ideas is the Different HDD a problem i have almost 20 PC where i work and i want to make a Ghost for all of them any help will be accepted :).
Thanks

Yes isnt XP supported?

more to the point would be the admission to circumvent activating 20 computers

sysprep (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302577)
