After cloning one hard drive of a machine to another machine successful. The machine I cloned to will not boot to Windows XP. I keep getting a blue screen, telling me to run hard drive check for problems. The drive I saved and the drive I restored to are both SATA drives. I can't even get the Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 installation disk to run. Any suggestions??

If the hardware on the destination machine is different from the source one, you have to install "sysprep" from MS before you clone it.
If they are the same, check this:
