I've been trying to clone a working Windows XP installation from a scsi disk to another physical scsi disk without success.

My situation is as follows:

Tekram DC-390U2W scsi controller

IBM 27 Gb ATA disk (booting from this, on to the scsi disk, which
contains the actual winxp installation). Shown as C: drive in WinXP

IBM 18 Gb "old" scsi disk (containing Windows XP install partition). Shown as D: drive in WinXP

Quantum 18 Gb "new" scsi disk (contains nothing). Shown as E: drive in Winxp.


I have succesfully cloned the old scsi disk to the new scsi disk.

After this I have used the recovery console and bootcfg command to insert the proper drive signature into the boot drives boot.ini file, so that I can select the new scsi disk as the Windows XP installation to boot into.

All goes well untill I try to boot into the new scsi disk, which has an identical copy of the Windows xp installation from the old scsi disk.

When trying to boot into the new scsi disk, the gui loads up and I get the Windows Logon -screen, except that no single user image is shown. That is, I can't select the user to log into.

Also, pressing ctrl+alt+del (repeatedly) does not bring up the Windows logon dialog (windows 2000 style).

Basically the booting into the new scsi disk windows xp copy just hangs on the logon screen, before I can even try and log in.

Any suggestions on how to fix this? I get no error message.

The problem remains the same, even if:

- old scsi device is attached to the computer (or not)
- new scsi disk has same scsi ID/LUN as the old one (or different)

If I take out the new scsi disk, I can successfully boot back into the Windows XP installation on the old scsi disk.

Any suggestions anyone?
