help on cloning Hard drive to upgrade drive size
"Rod Speed" wrote in message ... Peter wrote: Nothing strange? Did you ever hear about IBM HPA? no what is that ? http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/HPA http://www-3.ibm.com/pc/support/site...IGR-46023.html Read page 9. "Creating an image of the hard drive" 1. Ensure that the Access IBM Predesktop Area security level is set to Normal. This is the IBM default setting. http://ryxi.com/laptops/37-648-how-t...ble-read.shtml Dunno, cant see why that would give the symptoms seen, a failure of XP to boot. The most it should do is fail to clone the HPA to the new drive instead. HPA (when enabled) changes hd geometry seen by laptop OS.

Sure, but that shouldnt produce the symptoms seen because the XP boot doesnt care about geometry in the sense of just stalling with nothing on the screen. A clone of the boot drive works fine when the new drive has different geometry to the original.
