yea im trying to image from ide laptop to sata laptop

doubt its going to boot then cause no sata drivers loaded correct?

anyway to fix this?

maybe if i could load the sata drivers in the ide windows then it would boot?

No need to do all of this stuff. Just go into the Bios and set the Hdd to IDE Mode. This should work. Had the same prob.
