That is what I ended up doing. The changes wouldn't stick, but after doing
it on a few partitions (when slaved), some were able to stay in tact as I
rebooted. That was a scary deal.

Thanks, the article was good... but I got it done before reading it. I will
archive this for a future time.
Thanks again.

Most likely the system/boot volume letters at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices don't match or were changed
during the cloning process. It can be changed by network access or
mounting the drive in another Windows 2000 machine and changing the value.

You should be able to resolve this by following these instructions:

Unable to log on if the boot partition drive letter has changed

You will have to access the drive over a network, or slave it in another
Windows 2000/XP machine and use Regedt32 to do the changes.

Some report that simply booting the computer with a Windows 98 Boot Disk
and using FDISK /MBR command fixes the problem. Others say it doesn't
, easy enough to try.

OS = W2K w/sp4

During boot, I get a Virtual Memory Error stating that my computer has

no

Paging File. It then explains how to set the Virtual Memory which is

easy.

The problem is that it won't boot up. After I click okay on the error
dialog, the message comes back up again (in 5-10 seconds). Since this

keeps

repeating, I can't full boot up to make the changes.

What do I do.

History: I had a HD Crash/Error. I restored from an image to another

HD.

Now I get the error.

Thanks in advance
