Ahh, you have been breaking the second rule of cloning. That explains the
problem. Thanks for the feedback. http://www.goodells.net/multiboot/partsigs.htm "do not let new-XP see the old-XP partition the first time it boots. If new-XP sees old-XP, it won't reuse the original drive letter when it assigns a drive letter to itself. (Once XP-2 has booted and reallocated new drive letters, the old-XP partition can be reintroduced into the system, if desired.) " wrote in message ...

Did not install the original drive in hd1 slot. |

Dell service nor Dell web searches - no second rule. Casper - no second rule. Microsoft - could not find second rule. Hard drive manufacturers - could not find second rule. I skimmed Acronics and did not find the second rule. I wish to thank y'all very, very much for the feedback. Have a super day......Shelly |
