Tried the repair and I can now boot from the PATA on it's own. (Early on I tried this but I had forgotten that you had to select "install" rather than the first repair option which just takes you to the "Recovey Console"!)

Since this worked on the PATA, I may boot from it, then format the W2k partition and try to "repair" the XP on the SATA, rather than cloning the PATA to the SATA.

Thanks again for your help.
