Right. I don't dispute they will boot if you install a new hard drive in the place of an old one which was the boot drive. It will not boot (for me) if the drive configuration puts it on a different drive letter from the one it was copied from or on a different directory. Not the same thing. That is, you can copy to clone a system but not to boot from the backup unless you reconfigure the hard drives. This requires a physical reconfiguration, unless you can configure the drive letter (i.e., the physical drive addresses) in the bios.
