Ok, I'll try to make this short and sweet. I have a windows xp sp2 system with 2 drives, windows xp is on C:, D: is just storage. -C: (160GB) and -D: (74GB) I booted a completely default WinPE to then image C: and swap D: with C: (C: drive was failing). Effectively transfering the OS to the other drive and making original C: into a storage drive. Diskpart says C: is Disk 0, and D: is Disk 1. I then image C:, F: drive is a usb storage drive. -imagex /compress fast /capture C: F:\frankimage.wim /verify I then wipe C: and turn it into D: -diskpart -sel disk 0 -clean -cre par pri -sel par 1 -format fs=ntfs quick -assign letter=D I then format D: and turn it into C: -diskpart -sel disk 1 -clean -cre par pri -sel par 1 -format fs=ntfs quick -assign letter=C -active I then deploy the image: -imagex.exe /apply F:\frankimage.wim 1 C:\ It finishes, then I restart and get a "insert boot media" as if nothing is there. Thinking it is the mbr I go back to WinPE with MBRfix.exe -mbrfix /disk 1 fixmbr /yes Presents a "BOOTMGR is missing" error. I then go into the windows xp recovery console and: -fixmbr -fixboot It then boots with NTLDR is missing error. I am not sure what to do at this point... Thank you for any information you can give. UPDATE: I used the USB solution outline here. I selected the "2ND TRY THIS essayez ceci en deuzieme" And I was able to boot into windows... Now...what exactly did I do wrong originally? And how do I not make that same msitake again in WinPE?
