Thanks for your help. That seemed to fix the problem. Since you know what your doing. You might be able to help me out on another computer I'm having issues with. It is giving me an error message Invalid LBAI after I cloned a computer. I haven't had this problem before, but it if you have suggestions, that would be great.

Thanks,
