OS xp pro sp3, all drives are SATA
I cloned my dying C drive to a new one I just bought using norton ghost v14. However, removing the old drive and trying to boot off of the newly cloned drive won’t let me get past the blue log in screen. My computer just sits there with no error message just an annoying windows xp logo. For some reason when i reconnected my old HD and had both connected at the same time i was able to get to the desktop.
I’ve been reading around and some people are suggesting that this is a windows security measure that doesn’t allow you to run windows off a drive with a different serial #.
Just wanted to confirm if this was the case and if anyone had any suggestions?
any help would be great thanks.
