errors after swapping hard drive
LockedI swapped out my 2 smaller hard drives
with a Maxtor 20GB hard drive. I used the
Maxtor floppy to partition the drive and
copy my C partition from my old drive to
the new one. It encountered an error at
the very end. I used xcopy to copy my
other partitions to the new partitions, etc.
Tech Support at Maxtor told me that
obviously the Maxtor copy didn’t work for
me, and is suggesting I start over, install
Windows, and then drag and drop the
rest. The errors refers to amultitude of
programs referring to kernel32.dll,
wsock32.dll and sens.dll. My computer is
unusable after booting to Windows. Any
ideas other than Maxtor’s? How about
ghosting (a cheap way and that may run
from DOS)? If I ghost, will it create an
exact copy of my old C partition without my
having to delete everything on my new C
partition? Any help is appreciated. I want
to avoid having to reinstall everything, do
updates and redo all preferences, etc.
