Boot into your new Vista install in safe mode (F8 while booting gives you the option to do this) and wait for the preparing your desktop message to go. The solution is to edit the registry, which is fairly easy.ġ. Problem is that Vista still thinks your new disk has the same drive letter as when you copied the partition from the original Vista partition. Message Edited by cdau221 on 08-11-2008 02:50 PMīeen there done that and finally got a solution yesturday. Any suggestions? I'm open to other imaging software if anyone has had this problem and solved it with another program. If it matters, I am going from an IDE drive to a new SATA drive on Vista 64 with Ghost 14. I have seen a couple of people here with the "Preparing Desktop" issue, but no solutions. For whatever reason when the drive was copied over, it did not set this new drive as C: and it remains the old drive letter I had prior.
If I then look in My Computer I can see that the new drive is not listed as drive C. If I do a ctrl alt delete while it says Preparing Desktop and bring up the task manager, I can launch explorer which will then load a "temporary desktop." This only has a few of my icons and I receive a windows bubble message stating that my profile could not be loaded. Eventually it will move past that to just a solid blue background with the mouse pointer. However after that it goes to "Preparing Desktop" and seems to hang there. I copied my primary drive to a brand new hard drive (I formatted it NTFS before I copied it) and now when I boot the new drive windows begins to load up and I can even put in my password at the login screen.
