The exact error message is: "Disk i/o error...replace the disk and 
then press any key"


Actually, sys c: results in a "Sector not found writing drive C"

Yes...the drive is the only drive .

Yes

If I run the DOS version of scandisk, I get a "scandisk cannot read 
from last cluster on drive c", then goes on to talk about LBA vrs 
CHS and suggests that I have drive parameters set up incorrectly. I 
used auto-detect in BIOS for setting parameters. Just for grins, I 
also tried the other options (LBA, Large and Normal) to no avail. 
Perhaps the problem is simply that the drive was fdisked and 
formatted in a different machine prior to the cloning operation??

Thank-you much MM
