    E is the new system drive and that is already set as active as you can see. F has been in use for sometime and is working fine. I've already tried booting from E with C disconnected but no go.

    I don't have time until later this week to try the set up repair. I will update this when I can

    Thanks for all your help so far

    Read the whole thread please. It was C that was cloned using Drive Image. What you see now is my system after I reconnected the C ide drive after the new sata drive did not boot from it. I just followed the Drive image info in their software!

    Did you follow the steps I gave you earlier to repair a clone or image that won't boot?

    In this case unplug all other HD's, swap Disk0 cable to E if possible so it is in preferred Disk0 position.

    Since E is already marked Active, run Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times.

    I also asked you earlier if you told the cloning app to include Track0.

    No none of that. As I said back in the thread I don't have time to work on this until later this week!

    What error message do you get if trying to boot from E (with C disconnected)?

    Finally got around to looking at this!

    I decided to start again and run Drive Image clone again. This time when it had finished I disconnected all the drives except the new Sata drive. Well it booted into Windows OK . I then reconnected the other Sata and it wouldn't boot. Just a quick play in the bios with the boot order and all was fine again.

    Thanks for all your help guy's
