Hi all,

I know there are some fans of TI out here, so I thought you might have some advice.

I cloned the hd from my thinkpad x31 by putting it in a USB enclosure, making a .TIB backup on my desktop machine, putting a new drive in the enclosure, and then restoring.

When I browse the disk on my desktop, it looks fine, mounts fine, etc.

Now when I put the new drive in the x31 it just won't boot. No "missing op sys" no errors, no BIOS errors... it just stops.

Am I missing something dumb?

When Acronis does the restore, it seems to delete the partition and reformat, so I don't think I'm missing MBR or anything...

Tearing my hair out a bit.. any advice would be much appreciated!

thanks.
