I noticed that in one log it says the Norton AntiVirus files failed to
load but in the other log it says they loaded okay. Since NAV will load
before anyone can login (it is an NT service), a couple thoughts come to
mind.
As noted in my prior post, have you tried to boot into Safe mode when
using the cloned drive? Perhaps NAV won't get loaded and get beyond
those failures. I can't remember if NAV loads even in Safe mode.
Apparently you do not have the Recovery Console installed (so either you
have a bogus entry still in boot.ini or it got removed already). If you
had Recovery Console mode, you could boot into it and use the 'listsvc'
commmand to list them and use 'disable' command to disable the NAV
service (so they don't start on the next normal boot). See the
following KB article:
How to Disable a Service or Device that Prevents Windows from
Booting
