They are probably not starting becasue they are not on the drive letter that
they were cloned from.
AFAIK the default drive letter asignments are made in the sequence of the
first drive partition on the boot drive being Drive C, the second partition
being drive D etc.
You can change the drive letters of a partition using disk manager provided
you are not currently running the OS out of that partition. So if running
out of E you can chage the partition letter for the drive that is currently
Drive C, however, than you might not be able to boot from that partition in
order to change the current drive F to drive C. This type of operation is
best performed when you have 3 partitions involved and more than one drive
to boot from.

Having no luck finding solutions elsewhere for this one. Hope someone can
help. I'll provide the events leading up to the problem in hopes of
helping
your diagnosis.
I spent the weekend trying to clone an existing XP installation on a 20G
partition to an 80G. It's an OEM XP Pro. I used the Sysprep tool and
followed the instructions at
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/deploy/duplication.mspx
I did not perform the optional steps.
Cloning was performed with Ghost 2002.
Startup of the second disk led to the problem described in article 320279
at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;320279
I repaired this.
Next problem was that this system has non-standard drive letter
assignments
(systemroot is E, I have no idea why - boss' computer). The restart
caused a
switch the C, breaking many things. I repeated the clone and 320279 fix,
and
fixed this error before restarting the new clone by following the steps
outlined in article 223188 at
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=223188
This finally allowed a successful login.
Upon logging in, though (here's the main issue), many applications failed
to
operate as expected. I've tracked the problem to *almost all* system
services not starting up automatically. There are perhaps only 4 that
load
of the dozens listed. Msconfig shows that these should all start (all
boxes
are checked, 2 or 3 are set as disabled). I can't provide a list at this
time since I'm not in front of the machine, but can get you one if needed.
If I manually start the services that msconfig has checked, the system
seems
to work fine (so far). A reboot breaks it again. I can, though,
successfully log off and back on to another user and the services remain
on.
Msconfig is NOT set for a normal start, nor have I tried that yet. There
are 2 disabled (fluff) items in the startup list, so it is at Selective.
So, why are my services not starting when they should be?
