i just add a new 200GB hard disk to my system. the old 18GB hard disk is
the slave. i used the Maxtor software to copy the 18GB C: partion to the
200GB C: partition. i un pluged the old 18GB drive and booted. i got to
the windows XP Welcome screen but none of my accounts are listed. just a
Windows XP logo and there is nothing to click on. I if plug the old drive
back in as the slave the system will boot and i will see the user accounts.
when i go into my computer the C: drive is still the old 18GB. How can this
be when it is the slave?
Thanks

How come you've named two virtual drives "C"? Does
Maxtor's MaxBlaster software allow that?

Are you using Cable Select or Jumper Select to designate
the Master and the Slave?
