thanks, I will try your suggestions tomorrow. For now what I did was, created the pool again and when it was finished, I restarted the clone before logging in but had the same results. I also created the pool without redirecting the temp files to a separate non persistent disk, but that didnt help either.
I did not have this problem on my Windows 7 linked clones.
If you think of anything else, please let me know.
thanks,
Mike
