Michael and/or Sharon:

I'm sticking to this 'subject' although we're wandering
away from it a bit. Who is to say that MBR is what needs
fixing? In any case, I have two files:

http://bellsouthpwp.net/b/i/billurie/ntbtlog2.txt

and

http://bellsouthpwp.net/b/i/billurie/ntbtlog1.txt

These are the boot logs for cold boot of my two
hard drives, containing my working hard drive (log2)
and the supposed clone, which gives (log1) but 'hangs'.

Obviously, the 'good' one goes further and boots all
the way, successfully, while the 'bad' one stops shorter.
I'm hoping that one of you will look at the two logs and
be able to tell me what I have to do, to get the 'bad'
drive to proceed past where it now 'hangs'.
