Powerquest v2i protector issues

[AMPLIFRIER]

ok.....

my girlfriend got a new 200 gig hdd
to replace the 40giger thats starting to sing all the time.

used powerquest v2i protector to create the image from the 40 gig drive.

i restored the image and all went well.
no error messages or anything funny at all happened during the process either of the 2 times.

when i try to boot for the first time on the freshly imaged drive.....the thing gets up to the welcome screen where all the icons for users on the machine are listed.....BUT

the welcome screen i come up to has no user icons loaded on it.

while sitting at this point the system is actually alive..........the mouse responds to movement and the pointer even changes when the system is reading a disc.

it just never gets past the point to where i can see the user accounts.

one thing im thinking is to put the original image drive back into the pc .....fire it up and turn off the welcome screen so i get a log on box....then re-image the source drive and try to restore that image to the new drive (200 giger)


anyone been thru this before?

oddly enough....the change i mentioned making in the source drive did the trick....i am submitting this on the machine that i was doing the imaging on.

odd bug

ill tellpowerquest about it as well

hope this helps someone out at some point.

Is this Drive Image 7.0? I had nothing but problems with that thing, so I gave it away. I went on the advice of a few regular SGers and bought Acronis True Image. Works perfectly.

OH...I thought the v2i Protector was PART of Drive Image.
