I finally figured that out.

Did that too, the second time.

Yep, all 15 of them.

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.
Strange.
