    I am using True Image, here is the problem. Old drive was imaged, installed a new larger drive (30 gig) image copies over fine, restatrs the machine and I get the following message (Windows could not start because of computer disk hardware configuration problem,,,etc.)
    The drive is set to be the boot drive, I even went so far as to install XP on the drive and it booted fine. When I run TI again i can see all the files on the drive, how do i get this thing to boot.

    Hi, Padrea

    Did you make sure it was restored as the Primary Partition, when you restored from the Image.

    Take Care,

    Help, I did restore to the Primary Partition, and I did choose the active button.
    I have even gone throgh the process again with the same results.

    Hi, Padrea

    I do not know what you have done to cause it, looks like the Master Boot Record as been messed up, try this:- FIXMBR

    Take Care,
