    Trying to see if my old 320GB HDD will work again, and I'm trying to use this program XXclone but I seem to be running into two problems.
    1.) NTLDR is missing and NTDETECT.exe is missing (something like that)
    2.) The backup won't finish and is stuck on "Checking the diskette" to try and make the target drive bootable.

    On the source hard drive is Windows 7 RC if that helps...

    The product page mentions support up to XP - so it might be that it is the problem?

    cheers ...

    That would make a lot of sense, didn't realize the article I read about cloning a HDD was so old...
