Re: Boot Problem

Marty-
I just recently used the Data Lifeguard Tools on my parents PC to transfer their HDD
to a bigger 1 & some of the things didn't make the transfer too well(even though it
claimed that everything did,except the restore points & the hibernation files).
After having to reinstall certain programs & editing the boot files,I finally got it
to what I thought was a good running condition & left it with them.
Well,since I didn't know what other problems might surface while I wasn't there,& not
wanting to take any chances,the next day I downloaded the trial version of Acronis 11
their machine & used the disk cloning operation & when it rebooted, this time,there
were no problems with anything .
I had Acronis Home 10 on my machine & I can vouch that it's a great backup program(&
highly recommended here),but never used it for anything else till then. I ended up
buying Acronis 11 for my own machine & installing my copy of Acronis 10 on theirs.
Give it a try-I think that you'll have better success with Acronis True Image over
the Data Lifeguard Tools.

Yes, I tried Safe Mode. Same results.

Need to say this is an HDD that I cloned using WD's "Data Lifeguard Tools",
which reported no problem in the process.

Did you try to boot in safe mode or from the last known good configuration?
If not, try tapping the F8 key when the boot sequence begins.

OS=XP-Sp2. Boot proceeds no farther than the screen where "Windows is
starting up" usually appears. That screen appears, but that statement
doesn't. The HDD appears to be trying to do something, but nothing
happens.
Suggestions and\or directions will be appreciated.
