Hello,

Just today I ghosted one SATA drive to another, everything went as per normal, except for one thing. Every time the windows XP OS is rebooted, there is an error that comes up.. It is saying that Windows XP cannot install the device "Volume". There is a pictoure of a Hard Drive in the error.. Now I have looked for error codes in the event viewer, none to be found (system / application etc).. I have looked under Device manager, nothing showing under other.. Kind of lost with this.. I have to click NEXT 3 times, and then it works perfect..

Any Ideas?

Tx - Toby.

If this is a [i]false positive[/i] error notice, you can suppress it if you wish with the following Registry tweak:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows

Create a new DWORD called NoPopupsOnBoot and give it a value of 1. Reboot.
