True Image 9: AUTOPART Error: Script not found

Found a guy (Luminous) in this forum which had the same error with version 8, but thread offers no solution.
I am cloning a well running WinXP SP2 from a 160 GB disk (IDE master, only 30 GB used) to a 80 GB disk (IDE slave). True Image patritions the 80 GB drive accordingly.
Clone process runs without errors, system is switched off regulary after the requested keystroke.
Then make the 80 GB drive as only drive (master).
System is booting, some messages appear:
Acronis True Image
Analysing Partitions 100%
Assigning letters 100%
Sync with OS 100%
Completed (hard to read, only very short time to see...)
System resets automatically and is booting again.
Then these message appears:
Acronis AUTOPART
ERROR: Script file not found
and system hangs.
Repeated process, but same result.
How to get the cloned drive to boot regulary?
Best regards, Juergen

 

Sound like the clone process did not reset the master boot record properly. Try resetting it manually. System boot disk with Fdisk /MBR. Acronis offers a utility that creates a bootable floppy called XFDISK that does it automattically. That may not be the only problem, but it is a good start.

Keep in mind that imaging is much more reliable than cloning. Post back if you are still having problems. As long as you did not wipe out the original drive, there is a solution.
