After cloning to Segate hybrid drive Windows mail database is missing error

[parkeri]

I am trying to upgrade my Vista system drive from Segate 500GB hybrid to Seagate 750GB hybid drive. The cloning goes well but when booted with new drive I get the following error "Windows Mail could not be started. The application was unable to open windows mail message store. Windows mail was unable to locate its message database. If you have moved to a new location click OK to reset the database path to that location, otherwise click cancel to procede, any existing messages found ill be available under orphaned accounts (0x00000000).

Hi

You did not say what software you used to clone your drive ?

There are plenty of paid and free programs which can do a better job than whatever you used.

Seagate has one available
try bootable CD version

Mike,

I have used Acronis 10, Seagate Disk Wizard, EasUS Partition manager, and Fission Dual Hard Disk Docking Station - this copies track to track without the need for PC. Everytime I got the same error, and I have checked the Windows mail directory in original and cloned drive and they are the same and files and dub-dirctories are same too.
