Moving Win2K Server Partition to new HDD.., Plz help...

[csl1010 0]

Hi

 

Recently I use PowerQuest DeployCenter (similar to Ghost) to use "Copy disk to disk" function to move everything from old HDD to new HDD

 

After completed, i set my new HDD W2K Server Partition as "Active" in PartitionMagic

 

I am successfully loaded in W2K, but - after I logged in, i need to wait for a minute or so, and then it said "no paging file found", and there's instructions showing how to make paging file, After i press "OK", it automatically bounce back to Login screen rather than continuing...

 

I tried tons of times.......

 

And then i realize my paging file is set to another drive :x (E:\) rather than C:\, at that moment E:\ cannot be found in the system yet

 

Therefore I make a E:\ partition, copy the old paging files to E:\, restart, login. This time the "No paging file found" is disappeared, but it still not let me continue - automatically bounce back to login screen.

 

Well.....guys i need your help I have tried my best in this matter. And I appreciated all your helps provided for me and will not forgotten. Cheers!

That should do do it for you

 

Just check you permissions, and as a minimum have SYSTEM to full control on the drive that makes the pagefile.

Make sure the machine has at least 128 MB ram, that should be enough to boot without a paging file.

 

If the return to logon prompt problem persists, there is an easy fix.

 

Boot from a win9x boot floppy/ Then fdisk/mbr

 

Ths will work even on an ntfs drive and will not harm your data.
