I have it set up so I can remove power from each of the 3 disks easily, so after cloning all the partitions, I just powered down the original 2 drives and booted up the 120GB drive. The XP on E: boots fine, but the one on K: still gives me an error about not being able to verifiy the activation code. I have to do it again and get the full text of the error and see if the MS newsgroups can help. I'll post it here too. I obviously have the boot.ini entry correct, as XP does boot, it just won't let me log on and I get the old logon window, not the newer XP style.
