Cloned Drive On Windows 7, Now How Do I Access?

[TheInsaneManiac]

I tried using cool tools to tst, but it says the source isnt an active
partition. I have my HDD cloned to recovery partition, but the cool
tools is not working. Any help?

Hi John/Maniac,

Could you expand on your comment regarding "HDD cloned to recovery partition"?  Is "recovery partition" your own terminology for the destination partition to which you cloned the source partition?

With regards to using cool tools, which of the six options under cool tools are you referring to?  Maybe provide more details, including the steps you took in running the cool tools option(s)  (i.e. which source and destination partitions did you specify when re-running Xxclone after selecting the cool tools option(s))?  Are you running XP, or Win7?  

Maybe quote the error message that you received?

Under normal circumstances, It doesn't make sense that your source partition would be described as not being an active partition, assuming you were running under your source partition's operating system.
