I have a nearly new Hard Drive (Maxtor) that started  
getting SMART errors. I have received a new one under  
warrantly, and used Partition Magic to copy all existing  
drivers partitions over "as is". I have set the new  
primary partition active and used Recovery Consoles  
fixboot & fixmbr to gain bootable access to the drive  
properly.
However, although it boots to the log in screen OK, when  
logging in, it clears the login box, plays the login tune  
and then after a short wat, brings back the login box and  
the cycle repeats.
This happens if I use safe mode, alternate login's & last  
known good configuration.
I am somwhat dumbfounded as to how to resolve. As all the  
partitions check out ok and are accessible when booted off  
another hard drive.
Can anyone shine a light ?
