Ghosting 100gb HDD to new 160gb HDD

Asked by johnb6767 in Windows XP Operating System, Microsoft Windows Operating Systems, Disk Partition Tools

Tags: cd, ghosting

I used to ghost all the time. Ghost a smaller disk to a larger disk, insert the new disk, and let the OS install the HW reboot and your golden. So, In an effort to do the same thing on this lovely HP nx9600, I did as follows.....

I have ghosted, via "disk to disk" a 100gb laptop HDD to a larger 160gb HDD. Put the 160gb drive back into the HP NX9600, and it comes up with a pretty little error......

A Disk read error has occurred
Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE

Slave the 160gb to a desktop, the contents are fine, boot files are present, and the boot.ini is correct. Tried UBCD4Win, Bart and Gpart in the 9600 and wouldnt boot to the CD (2 of them actually). I installed the 160gb drive into an HP 8230, and the splash screen shows up and BSOD's (which is expected), but the main thing here is that it read the disk, and tried to boot it.

Have tried the usual suspects in the recovery console, but to no avail. Same error on boot......

Tried a repair install IN the nx9600, and it found the original OS, and started the process in the text mode phase of setup. Then of course it comes to the old familiar reboot to continue with the GUI mode of setup. You would think since it saw the disk before, that it would continue with the setup right????

(insert obnoxious buzzer sound here....)

Wrong.......

Same stupid error.....

Why wont the nx9600's see this HDD like the other laptops do?

Please ask questions, I hope I have explained it well enough, but please read the question for what has already been done.
