Hi,
I move my XP Pro installation to a new bigger HDD, and since the system is
extremely slow. I used DriveImage to do the move from the old to the new,
everything worked fine except for the previously mentioned problem
I did a defragmentation and it did not helped
Any help or advice will be most welcome

Thank you in Advance
Merci a l'Avance

I would do a fresh install on the new drive, as the move got botched.

That is not really an option since there is too many settings and applications
to reset to make them work
If there is any other suggestion, beside re-install the whole system.
I have over 20 users to reconfigure with all applicable permissions, etc... If I
have to re-install, I'm better of throwing the whole system to the trash and
forget computer for the reminder of my life.

You might want to talk to one of the drive image guys, could be they might
have an idea.

You might also do a repair installation on the new drive. You would most
likely not lose your data, but will have to do the applicable updates.
