I am currently copying one Master Fijitsu, MPA3026AT to a Slave Fijitsu MPD3084AT
Both drives have two partitions; DOS_BOOT and NT. Using Partition Magic, I was able to copy successfully however upon bootup the following error occurrs-- 'Disk I/O error: Status=00000001
Windows NT could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt= \system 30\ntoskrnl.exe
Please reinstall a copy of the file.'

Insert the startup disk and reload the system files,first partition must contain the startup files
1)BOOTSEC.DOS
2)BOOT.INI
3)NTDETECT.COM
4)NTLDR
load the files and then reboot the machine,if this does you will have to use NT and select a Repair Previous NT Install

Another solution is to use the boot floppies (3) that come with NT and when it asks about the type of install select "Repair"
