Default A very senior moment...

I've been trying to clone the HD on one PC and put that into another to
save reloading in everything since both machines are similar. I've used a
free utility called HDcopy which reckons it can do this.

On installing the clone in the other PC it starts to load XP then locks
up. I've tried repair using the XP installation CD, but that demands an
administrative password. Which I've never actually bothered with, so I
assume is the default one. I do have my administrator one - but that's not
the same thing.

I have all the original installation CDs for the progs I use - was just
trying to save some time.
