I'm having a problem with a ghost image.  I took a ghost image from the drive an older computer with a RAID 1 configuration running XP SP2.  I then tried to clone it onto a newer drive of a different computer without a RAID configuration.  I did this by adding the drive as a secondary drive and running GHOSTOEM32.exe from the main drive and cloning the image to the secondary drive.  It said that it succesfully cloned the image.

I am now able to browse the secondary drive and see that it did indeed clone the old drive.  However, I am unable to use that drive as the primary drive and boot from it.  Instead it tries to boot up but brings up a black screen that reads: "We apologize for the inconvenience but windows did not start successfully....".  I am prompted to either start normally or start with the last known good configuration, both of which momentarily flash a blue screen, attempts to start up again, and then brings me back to the black screen.

I have also tried booting from the XP reinstall cd to attempt a clean install but that does not work either.  I end up at a blue screen that tells me windows did not start successfully and has been shut down to avoid damage to the computer.

If anyone could help me I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

Nevermind,  I read some more

Solution

Nevermind,  I read some more posts and figured it out.  I just had to change the drive settings from AHCI to ATA.

Thanks
