Any pros or cons on use of either of these...regarding clone accuracy and
'glitch' free operation?

I think you will find the it takes XXCLONE to copy an XP hard drive.
It may be limited to NTFS, but I think it is the OS. Both work fine for
their intended purpose.

Thanks, should have added that this is for WinXP, P4.

1. Before I start XXclone, should I uncheck all of the items in the

msconfig startup tab first?

2. Also do I need to put the cloned drive (D:) in the master position on
the primary IDE cable in order to boot from it? Right now it is in the
slave position of the primary cable. Or can I boot from the drive in this
position after changing the boot sequence in my bios?

I did not change any setting in Windows prior to using XXCLONE. It
should not be necessary.

It sounds like you have read up on the fact that XP assigns a disk
letter (i.e. D:) upon the first reboot after having cloned a HD.
Although I cannot say it is necessary when using XXCLONE, I would
observe the practice of swapping the drive for the first boot after
cloning. It takes some time to clone a drive and if it were to create a
problem having not moved it, moving it would be the wise thing to do.
After the reboot with the cloned HD in the master position, you should
be able to use your boot sequence feature in CMOS.

There is a news group where XXClone is discussed, I trust you are aware
of it?

Ken, XXClone did a perfect job of duplicating my C: drive. As you said, I
took out my C: drive, put it aside temporarily, put the clone drive in the
master position, rebooted, and the clone drive came up as the C: drive
perfectly. I checked out some of my programs and the copy was
flawless.....nice job.

I will check out the news group and take a look at it.

No offense, but what you don't know could fill a warehouse.
