Hey all,

I just ghosted an older 10GB hard drive to a larger 40GB drive in order
to facilitate a move to a more robust system. Now when the drive is
installed to the new machine (new motherboard, etc) the system hangs at
boot. Booting to Safe Mode shows that AGPCPQ.SYS is the driver where the
problem occurs.

Any suggestions for recovery?

It's probably failing with the file after AGPCPQ.SYS, which would be the
HAL. This problem typically indicates that the new computer needs a
different HAL. The only supported mechanism for changing the HAL is to
reinstall Windows, but I'm sure someone will volunteer more "creative"
fixes.

Just do a repair reinstall. No need to do a clean install.
However, that's not really indicated here. What tool did you use to copy the
drive?
