    Trying to clone a Dell E1505 HD with MediaDirect

    Hi guys I installed the cloning software on a DELL E1505 which had a 40GB HD and wanted to clone it to a Western Digital Scorpio Black 320Gb in an USB external case. I used Acronis TI 2009 to clone my old 40GB notebook drive that had 3 factory partitions (one for media direct, one being a restore partition, and lastly the main partition with windows on it).


    Well Windows XP rebooted and proceeded to clone the disk using the auto feature, it showed all three partitions being equally expanded which was not ideal but made sense. The clonedisk finished, I rebooted, then turned it off and proceeded to swap drives ONLY running the new 320GB drive. It rebooted and then I got a windows bluescreen of death and that was that. Any solutions? Thanks

    Do you have the correct ATA/AHCI mode setting in BIOS?
