I took the 40gb HDD out of my XP laptop, and cloned it to a 160gb drive, using Macrium Reflect. I did it exactly the way it suggested. I used the "Clone" button, and had it create an exact duplicate to the larger
drive. It created a 40gb partition which is supposed to be an identical clone. I did nothing with the remainder of that drive. I figured I could format the remaining 120gb later, and having a 40gb partition with the
OS is fine. The remainder of the drive will be storage and music, etc.
But after all the great things I have heard about Macrium Ref, I am very disappointed. When I plug in the new drive, all I see is "Operating
system not found". After unsuccessfully trying to do the same with
Norton Ghost and a program from Seagate that is supposed to also clone drives, I guess I'm out of luck cloning this.
Guess it's time to start from scratch and install XP. I dont mind that
so much, but I do mind having to reinstall all the programs and worse
yet, having to reconfigure all the settings, drivers, and removing all
the annoyances out of XP.
Macrium Reflect gets an "F". (FAILED - FAILED - FAILED)
Now it goes in the trash bin, since I have no use for anything else it
does (like backup).

in, since I have no use for anything else it

it, although not too sure about XP. Surely there are many tutorials
about this problem.
I've never used the clone function.
I always back up the "drives needed to reinstall windows" to external
media.
Install the new drive and restore the backup.
This will also install all the boot stuff, including any special stuff
you might have in the boot sector.
That has never failed me.
