Why can I boot into I:\ when C:\ is connected, but not when it isn't?

The info I have found on reading, not first hand knowledge.

It likely has to do with the hdd ID that XP writes into the MBR (fdisk /mbr will zero it out and mybe fix problem as posted by Tarl ) , the XP's registry boot volume ID points to the original hdd's ID. When you boot the cloned XP and it finds no ID in MBR it will write hopefully a correct one.
