I'm trying to transition from a traditional hard drive to an ssd.
So imaging the working drive in use onto a file, and then placing that
image file onto an ssd drive.

The problem is that when the ssd drive boots, just after the familiar
windows xp sound comes on, I get a message that says windows has
crashed, and if I wish to send a data dump to microsoft:

svchost szappver 5.1.2600.5512 ntdll.dll szmodver 5.1.2600.5755
offset 100b.

After this, the system just hangs.

Looking at the dump files it created (appcompat.txt*,
svchost.exe.mdmp) they were placed on the E drive!! (which is the old
hard drive that was the source of the image, to which the ssd booting
should have no dependency on)!

If I disconnect the original hard drive, and boot with only the ssd
attached, it hangs even before the windows xp sound!! If I
disconnect the ssd drive, and boot from original hard drive,
everything works fine.

This leads me to believe that something in the ssd's windows install
(and on the image file) is pointing elsewhere for critical files that
for some reason it doesn't have. Or, perhaps, since both drives
have identical contents, windows is getting confused as to the active
drive?

How can I troubleshoot why svchost is crashing at startup on the new
ssd drive that's been imaged with a known good os?

When you clone one HD to another (as a clone or an image/restore process),
on the first boot from the new HD you MUST have the old HD disconnected. Try
restoring the image again.

What image/restore software are you using? How are you managing the
partition alignment on the SSD? Is your traditional HD an IDE or SATA?

what was the original drive and partition configuration including the
location of the original boot drive (and/or other bootable drives if a
multi-boot system. your mention of the 'e' drive was the old hard drive
that was the source of the image suggests some non standard
configuration such as a multi-boot configuration.
