Hi Everyone,
Just wondering if anyone had any experience with the following:
I have Windows XP Professional installed on a SCSI drive. I want to copy this installation to a larger IDE drive.
I used Partition Magic Pro 7.0 and the copy was successful, however, I needed to edit the boot.ini using the Revovery Console to change the boot paths.
I got XP to boot, I logged in as normal, but before I get my Desktop it gives me an error, which is something like this:
Windows XP Authorization: Something is preventing this copy of Windows XP from being authorized.
I have copied successfully in the past, IDE to IDE, and without SP1 installed.
Does anyone know anything about this issue that could give me a few pointers.
Much appreciated,
John Franklin
