I just finished cloning my disk to a new SATA drive of the exact same model using xxclone. I used the copy volume Id and created boot record info using the options in xxclone. However, now that I have the drive installed on the laptop, it won't boot stating that "no operating system installed." I've gotten to a DOS prompt in Windows Recovery and I'm able to see all of my files in C:\Windows. What am I missing to get it to boot properly?
I'm not familiar with xxclone, but if it's a bit for bit copy the only thing I'd say offhand is to make sure that partition you're trying to boot from is set to active. I've had success with other similar programs and haven't had to edit the boot store or anything like that. – Shinrai – 2011-09-28T14:11:11.173
