XP64 Cannot log on after ghosting

I am using ghost 8.1 from two floppies. I successfully ghosted an XP64 partition from one drive to an 80gig drive. I removed the first drive and booted fine from the 80gig drive. However, when i try to logon at the Windows welcome screen, it goes into a loop. It would seems like it’s logging me on and then present the logon screen again. This looks to me like a Windows Activation problem to me.

Has anyone seen this problem before? Appreciate any help.

Note: I haven’t had any error at all during the ghosting stage. Everything went smoothly.
