G'day from Australia,
I just used Norton v9 to copy my primary O/S Harddrive to another newer Harddrive. (to discard old small HD) selecting all the necessary switches eg: bootable.
upon attempted new bootup( yes jumpers ok etc) thus only new HD installed.
I get probably 80% of bootup ok, then hangs with only MS windows xp(window) & mouse can move but thats it. havn't reach multiple user selection option yet, Just hangs. ANY CLUES????? No multiple O/S etc. this should be a simple ghost task!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, talk about a blast from the past. It has been many years since I've seen this kind of thing happen in Windows. And I don't believe I ever seen this after restoring an image - something I do almost daily. Unfortunately, I don't remember what the solution was nor have I been successful in finding a solution on the web. I've queried several of the old timers on the development team and their memories are just as rusty as mine on this -- they remember it but is too far back to recall the solution. Some seemed to remember all you had to do was do a cold boot, i.e. power off the machine. But I suspect that you have tried that a time or to. Great help, I know.
Yes, this should be a very simple task. But since I have not been able to come up with more information, we have to try the basics.
First, open the image in the Recovery Point Browser and use its Verify function to validate the image. If the image verifies OK, then we know that the data in it is the same as what the hard drive gave us during the backup.
Second, you need to try restoring the image again. Now, when restoring this image the last time did you chose the resize option to fill all available space? If so, restore the image with out this option. If not, restore it with it. Also, when you do the restore make sure you check the option for restore original disk signature. It also would not hurt to choose the option to restore the MBR since this is onto a new drive.
Try these things and let me know the results and we'll go from there.
