Thanks both, I do have the links to that handy anyway, tbh, never really keen on getting official software of the web, probably a bit old fashioned, but you can never guarantee what your getting or the right version, but it has crossed my mind.

Had another play last night, after I backed up the Netbooks entire disk up, put the Netbook Back to how it was (last week), then cloned the C drive Partition to another, verified it, then copied it back to C again, reboot, nothing, just gave flashing cursor (rather than No OS Found), which told me missing Boot, then used XXClone Tools on it - Tools / Make Target Bootable / Ticked: Write MBR, Boot Sector and \Boot\BCD did a reboot and it all worked fine.

So did the all of the above with the Original Partition at the build time, again no Boot (No OS Found), so thinking now maybe when I did the original build and cloned the C, maybe I didn't do it properly or used the wrong method and clone the Partition without the OS (is that possible?)  :-\

Edit, just thinking out load, when I did the original Clone a few years back, not sure if SP1 was around, would that mess up Boot Up?


usually program codes do a lot of job/controls/checks indendependant of the tick boxes ;D  at least thats what I do ;D ;D  so some of them may correct the problem regardless of what you tick :-\
