I'm using this distro:
http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page

I did a the following command:

dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc

hda = 3 GB HDD
hbc = 40 GB HDD

which copies data (byte by byte) from Primary Master to Primary Slave.

Primary Master has a fresh install of Windows XP on it in NTFS which works. When I try to use the copied drive (hdc) and boot up, it doesn't boot.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!
