[Clonezilla-live] "error loading operating system" xp, drive close to dead

[Dan C. <da...@bl...>]

I've used clonezilla on Linux drives without a single problem.
Excellent product and the price is right:)
I tried to clone my first XP drive
(my wife's I figured by the clanking it was making it wouldn't last long)
I after cloning it failed to boot.
"error loading operating system"
I searched the archives and found this solution:

[ ] -j0 Use dd to create partition table instead of sfdisk
or choose
[ ] -e Client uses the HD CHS value (saved in image) for sfdisk
when you do a restoration.

Which worked for another user.

My problem is I'm not sure the drive will last through another clone.
The new drive that won't boot does contain all her data.
Is there any other option I have besides crossing my fingers and hoping it
survives another clone.

My bois doesn't have an option for LBA mode either.

Thanks
Dan
