This is driving me NUTZ!!!
I'm trying to clone my Desktop boot drive to another drive so I have a backup....
The Original system drive is an 80Gb Hitachi Deskstar (IDE)
I have TWO Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 IDE drives
and TWO Western Digital 80gb IDE drives, I've cloned from the hitachi to each of these using different cloning software and so far ONLY the Hitachi drive will actually boot the computer....
The WD's give back a "OS Not Found" on the screen after the bios
The Seagates give a slightly different error "insert boot devise or media in boot device", but still nothing...
I MUST have a backup.
In a perfect world I'd copy my installation to a 25Gb partition on one of the 80's (leaving the rest free for data isolated from the "system" setup
(AVG and seperate e-mail programs tend to generate fragmentation)
