William, it's difficult to compare them because #1's format is jumbled
together as opposed to the simple list of #2.

I don't really see anything in log 2 that jumped at me nor, from what I was
able to see in log 1 could I discern something that would cause this issue.

As near as I could tell, the things that did not load were the same in both.
This leads me back to the XP anti-piracy scheme. Regardless of the bootlog,
it's my guess there's enough of a change in the setup from the image to the
clone because the other hard drive was not connected when the OS was
installed that this is running up against XP's anti-piracy scheme.
