Every single incident I have encountered was always cause by the "partition ID" drive letter being wrong.įor the "mounted devices" all you need is a bartpe bootcd to repair it.

Both must match to have a proper boot of windows xp. You have the "mounted devices" mentioned above, and the "partition ID" drive letter.

This problem occurs when restoring windows xp, no matter what imaging software you use.įirst you need to veriify which of the 2 drive letters are wrong. The boot process may hang (usually at the login or blue "Welcome" screen) while XP-2 searches in vain for "drive C:". Again, XP-2 will recognize its partition was previously given a drive letter and will keep it. Then XP-1 is subsequently cloned to XP-2 on disk-2, and disk-1 is removed.
Here's another example of a common cloning mistake: suppose XP-1 is C: on disk-1, and F: is a partition on disk-2. But the letter C: is embedded in countless XP-2 registry entries and configuration files, so when XP-2 starts drawing information from partition-1, you end up with a "schizophrenic" system, with XP-2 confusing which partition it's supposed to using. But when XP-2 boots, its registry recognizes the partition it's on was previously designated D:, and keeps that letter (and partition-1 keeps the letter C: ). The new copy of XP is supposed to be a clone of XP-1, so is supposed to see partition-2 as C. If you subsequently clone XP-1 to partition-2, of course the registry goes with it. These assignments will be recorded in the registry. This can create problems when cloning, duplicating, or moving these OS's.įor example, suppose you have XP installed as C: in partition-1, and partition-2 has been formatted and designated D: by XP. Windows NT, 2000, and XP remember drive letters previously assigned to partitions. Unload the hive, and boot the machine - should run like a champ Load the hive "C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\system" either with regedit or loadhive.exe, and navigate to "MountedDevices"Įxport the key to a file (for backup purposes) then delete all the entries located in the "MountedDevices" key - do not delete the key itself. I dinked around a bit - and stumbled upon the answer -Įither boot the machine with BartPE, Winternals, or some other "live cd" windows environment, or attach the drive to a machine with a running copy of XP. The mouse and keyboard still responded - it just stops there as if it can't load the next step in the login process.Īfter running a chkdsk and making sure the drive order and whatnot were right, I was kinda at a loss. When I booted the SATA drive, it got through the initial loading screen, then stopped just before the welcome screen where it's just the blue background with the small Windows logo and name. This time around, I cloned an IDE drive over to an SATA and removed an add-on IDE controller. I've seen this a few times, but had never found a fix or seen the cause before now. I had this problem, and found no answers anywhere - then figured it out, so I thought I'd share my experience. You can also import manually after downloading, from the shortcut on the Desktop, or the Start menu, after installing the Wlan driver.I'm new to this forum - I found it while googling the title of this thread. If you do not need it, make the run.cmd file in the SSTR\MInst\ bat folder empty.
