Norton Ghost 2003 (Cloning)

by mack9930317 Apr 29, 2006 7:35PM PDT

Hi Everyone.

I am running Ghost 2003. I currently run a 20gb Hard Drive with Win XP Pro. I decided a while back to buy myself a new 80Gb Hard Drive so that I could Clone my old Drive to the new. I did this throught Ghost and when I used my new Drive as the Master Booter it worked perfect. Yesterday I tried this again and it came up with some Dll Error that I cant remember. It would not Boot anyway. I decided to Format the Drive again and place 3 Partitions on it. I then proceeded to use Ghost again and Clone my old Drive. Now everytime I try to Boot with the new Drive I get (error loading Os) I cant understand how it worked before but not now.I tried from scratch again and I got the same Error. I dont think my Old Drive will last too much longer so I need to get the Os and Files transfered pretty quick.

I would be grateful for any help.
THANX

If so, I would use the free clone software from the new hard disk's maker's web site.
