arggghhhhh

Just today I tried to load XP onto a spare drive while I check out Redhat. (Trying to have dual booting on 1 drive) I do not want to take a chance losing everything from my XP Drive. I used the Western Digital software to clone my drive. I got the error that XP could not confirm license info and froze loading my desk top. I could go no further. I finally installed XP from the CD and now the new drive is Permanently labeled as DRIVE E. argggggghhhhh I can boot to it though. I guss that XP will not allow you to clone or image from another drive......

How do I get the pc to recognize this as C: as it is the only drive in the pc???

Now after loading REDHAT again the pc freezes at loading ETH0) What did I do wrong? My previous loaded Redhat drive works.

XP like other NT based windows oses use a serial number system that usually prevents cloning... this is so a person cant clone xp to put it on another system. but i hear norton ghost works right...

As for RH i had that problem found out later that the kernel crashed and i had to reinstall RH

Life... Is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctoral gift that no one ever asks for. Unreturnable because all you get is another box of chocolates. So, you're stuck with mostly undefinable whipped mint crap, mindlessly wolfed down when there's nothing else to eat while your watching the game. Sure once in a while you get a peanut butter cup or an English toffee but its gone to fast and the taste is fleeting. In the end, you're left with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth shattering nuts, which if you are desperate enough to eat leaves nothing but an empty box of useless brown paper wrappers.
