This may get more attention in the true Image forum. I will ask a mod to move it and hopefully you get more help. Good luck.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Did you clone the whole harddisk, or just a partition? If you choose to clone only a partition, the boot code on the original harddisk (the Master Boot Record - MBR) will NOT be included in the image. And without the MBR, the system will never boot. Please check the "Read Before You Post" sticky (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=55317) for instructions on to fix the MBR.
