It can't be the hard drives because it happens even with my brand new hard drive. If the drive I'm using boots perfectly and I clone it to another drive, surely they are both exactly the same. So why will the newly cloned drive not boot?

I can NOT get my cloned drive to boot Login to post comments 25 replies [Last post] Fri, 2010-11-26 http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/146642/error-loading-operating-system/ 23:14 George Anderson Offline Beginner Joined: 2010-11-26 Posts: 17 I have v11.0, build 8101 installed on my XP machine. What I want to do is create a clone of my C: drive as a snapshot bootable backup drive. I have had ZERO problems creating the clone, but I have had zero luck getting the cloned disk to boot. I've read thru many forum posts and none touches my exact issue I think so here's my mehtod https://forum.acronis.com/forum/16485 and problem as clearly as I can: - Install 'old' C: drive into motherboard SATA port 1, "new" C: drive into port 0. - Boot windows XP - Load acronis and select 'clone drive'. Select C: as source, F: (the drive letter assigned to the new drive) as the destination of the clone. (There are 2 DVD drives that consume D: and E:) - Allow acronis to repartition etc. the 'new' drive. (I tried both auto and manual methods with same results) - Select all partitions (2) on the C: drive for cloning. - Review all selections and kick off the clone. - At the end of cloning, a message appears regarding removing the old disk etc. It is at this point I become a little confused, but here is what I've done (several times): - hit key to power down machine. - Disconnect power and signal cables from the 'old' C: drive, leaving the new drive connected to port 0. - Power the system on. After BIOS runs, computer dies with "Error loading OS" message. - I then go into BIOS trying to find a problem, but I always end up with this same error (or an error saying no valid boot device.) I make sure that the 'new' drive is found and is the only SATA drive in the system. It shows up as

Darkhadou, Jan 16, 2006 #2 SypherTek Guest in order for a sata drive to boot it needs the sata controller driver to be built into the windows installation. if youve cloned from an ide it may not have this. you could try booting up the pc with the windows disk in, press f6 when the installation is loading (this is to specify additional devices i.e your sata drive) youll need to download your motherboards SATA diskette to load the sata driver so that xp setup can see the hard drive. when youve loaded the sata driver continue with the setup until it asks if you want to repair a windows installation. choose to repair the installation on the sata drive. when you are in the recovery console type FIXMBR and hit enter this will fix the master boot record for the hard d
