Oops! I tempted fate earlier by writing=20
I'd done 'full disaster rehearsals on a=20
Win 2k SP4 laptop *and* on a Win XP Pro=20
SP2 laptop'. This was perfectly correct=20
for the W2k laptop but I'd not yet=20
physically swapped the drives on the XP=20
machine. When I did so (two hours after=20
posting the message) Sod's Law struck.

Everything went fine up to getting the=20
login screen. When I OK'd my password,=20
the screen changed to the 'Please Wait =96=20
Logging off...' screen. (No other=20
message). After 3 minutes and plenty of=20
disc activity I got part of the Windows=20
jingle. At 4 min the login screen=20
returned. I entered the password and the=20
same thing happened. Repeated this four=20
times. Then tried logging in as=20
Administrator (instead of just as me with=20
admin privileges). Same result, so I gave=20
up and swapped the drives back to square=20
one.

Can anyone help me over this final hurdle=20
with the XP backup?

For what it's worth:=20

1.	I did all the Xxclone operations=20
with the default setting /BC0.=20=20
2.	At all times I worked from my own=20
user area with admin privileges.=20=20
3.	The file Xxclone5.bat exists on the=20
clone but since I can't log in it's not=20
been activated yet.
4.	BOOTSECT.DOS look identical in=20
master and clone.=20=20
5.	The debug log files for W2k (which=20
worked fine) and XP (which stalled at log-
in) both contain the line 'Failed CopyFile=20
C:\NTBootDD.sys to G:\NtbootDD.sys'.=20=20
However, since this file doesn't seem to=20
exist anywhere on the XP or W2k laptops it=20
can hardly matter.=20

I'm stumped for now. Would appreciate any=20
help.

Thanks,
David Tong.
