I hope this is a "dumb" question with a simple answer...
My main WD 80mb hard drive is making noise, so I want to replace it. I used Ghost 9 to copy / clone it to a new Seagate 120 drive. I then unhooked the old WD drive and hooked up the new Seagate drive. When I start the computer, I get the windows xp screen BUT NO BOX TO LOG ON. When I go back to the still functioning WD I can log on and it works.
I have a second slave drive on the system. I copied the drive with ghost using a USB external connection for the new Seagate, then unhooked it.
I think this is a Windows XP activation issue. I read somewhere that I should boot to the original XP disc and select REPAIR windows setup?
