Clone gone horribly wrong?


Question Posted Sunday October 28 2012, 7:40 pm

I have xp on a 20 gig hdd. Wanted to clone it to an 80. put the 80 in and formatted it to ntfs, tried clonezilla to no avail. then tried EasUD TODO and it worked amazing to the clone (cloned it). When i cloned, i dragged the partition line from 20 to 80 gig, and did not check for it to make a sector exact clone.

After the clone, i checked both drives. they were an exact match. So I unplugged the computer obviously, and removed to 20 gig, changed the 80 gig from slave to master, and re attached all the wires. at startup, it see the 80 gig, but wont boot from it.

I thought I just turned it on and i was good to go. what did i do wrong? how do i fix it?

Only you can solve this!
