Continuing saga of working on making a retail store more robust by creating a backup clone of the main server, a 1995 era
![EEK! Smilie](https://www.unix.com/images/smilies/eek.gif)
PC running SCO OpenServer 5.0.0b and a discontinued Point of Sales (POS) software system.
I have a PC of the same make and model. The CPU runs faster and it has a CD-ROM instead of a tape drive.
I cloned the original hard drive on the clone's hard drive. The cloned hard drive in the original PC starts up and runs fine (yeah!

). And the original hard drive in the original PC starts up and runs.
However, the cloned hard drive in the clone PC DOES NOT BOOT!
Fine, I took the original hard drive and put it in the clone PC and it DOES NOT BOOT EITHER!
In the clone machine all I get is the text "1962" on the monitor. No start up, no boot: prompt.
I found a reference to an error 1962 about invalid master boot record.
Do I need to take a close look at the clone hardware and find any differences?
Any other ideas?
