No am going to have to do a full reinstall as the darn thing boots so slowly even with the HDD disconnected.
Power on and the usual post stuff even though I have limited it to 20 in regedit as per Shawn's tut and it goes to a black screen that has loading operating system on it followed by a trail of dots then the flag spots start to arrive. So something is absolutely wrong with this drive's install.
Have tried two repair installs and still I get this awful boot up process. I think some stuff must have "migrated" across from the HDD as the UAC pic is one that I used when still using the HDD
Still I have that clone to get back some of the stuff I put on as I don't really want to have to set up the security again for example. Worst scenario is a dud drive I suppose.
