CLONED HDD BOOT PROBLEM

Thread needs solution

I cloned a Samsung 8gb HDD (WinXP andWin7 dual booted) successfully to a Western Digital 160gb HDD. This was done with the two drives connected internally by SATA. The computer boots to either of the two operating system OK until the original disk is disconnected. When booting from the cloned drive alone the screen showns a page entitled "WINDOWS BOOT MANAGER" with a message beginning "Windows failed to start"

Any suggestions

Regards,

If you cloned a system drive to another disk and left both connected to the same machinne, then windows marked one as not as system drive. You must disconnect one after cloning.
