I'm pretty experienced with building my computers and installing OS's.
but it has been a couple years since my last upgrade and I have no
formal training and don't know all the latest parameters involved with
windows and file systems and formatting disks.

I have an XP PC (upgraded from Win2K. I'm switching to a new 240GB
Hard drive. I set my C: partition to Basic Drive w/NTFS at 20GB and
ran PQ Disk Copy with Copy MBR selected. The new drive will not boot.
I get "Windows 2000 cannot find or file is corrupt: system32/
ntoskrnl.exe". but it is not. I thought it was weird it says windowss
2000. Does this have something to do with my partition size? My size
of the c: partition on the old HD is is 11GB. TIA
