If the bulk of your message was stored in the attached

This discussion group talks both XXCOPY and XXCLONE.
If you want to clone an Windows system disk, you should
use XXCLONE. XXCOPY's /CLONE operation is mostly for
directory-cloning (even though it can clone the root
directory (equivalent to the whole volume, it won't
make the destination volume self-bootable).

Assuming you used XXCLONE to duplicate the system disk,
the target volume should be self-bootable if it is
swapped with the original disk. In that case, the
drive letter assignment is typically done automatically
by XXCLONE. XXCLONE swaps the drive letter between
the source volume and the newly cloned volume in such
a way that whey you boot the system using the target
volume, the target volume will have the same drive
letter that used to be assigned to the source volume.
Therefore, you need not do any extra work to change
the drive letter settings (the drive letters will remain
the same if you boot the system from the original volume.
