Afterward, did you also appropriately modify boot.ini on sda1 to account for 
copying the old one to sda2? If not, maybe you should share the one you have 
on sda1 now. If so, what's probably wrong is the old one on sda2 needs its 
registry modified for incorrect partition references. Moving a Windows 
installation is very definitely not an easy task.
