I have a similar problem: how to transfer a Windows Server installation to a
new hard disk. I tried doing an image copy but it wouldn't boot. I tried
running fixmbr and fixboot but it still wouldn't boot. I started to install
Windows Server 2003 from scratch on the new hard disk, then cancelled that
when it asked for the license key (at that point it would boot at least) and
then transferred the image over. Now it would boot but then I'd get an error
and it wouldn't log in, it would just log off. Something related to active
directory. Could be related to the fact that in the original install the NTDS
logs are in a separate partition. Or, one thing I'm not sure of, when it was
trying to boot up on the new disk, was it using the previouslty assigned
letter for that drive (T:) or was it booting up on a reassigned letter (C:)?
I imagine if it was trying to boot an image from a C: drive to a different
letter that would cause problems. (??)
Thank you
