windows dosen't have the sata drivers in it, so it won't boot is probably what your problem is  sucks. only way i can think that may...stress may get around that is to put it on the eide drive and boot it with the sata drive in it, then install the sata drive in windows...so that it'll have the drivers. and then ghost after that. That's my guess..i doubt that'll fix it but it may....hope it does  .

Just like it said, they will all be recreated.
hiberfile.sys is for hibernation and will be recreated.
pagefile.sys is the pagefile and will be recreated.
The others are just logs, wouldn't worry.
The probem is more likely that windows does not have everything it needs at boot time, but does at runtime.

You booted the machine with both the source and clone drive in it. Windows reassigned the volume GUID to the serial ATA drive. Windows can now no longer identify the drive from which to read some system files.
Solution: Re-image the serial ATA drive from the original. Remove the original. Then, finally, attempt to boot from the serial ATA drive. | |
