clone a hard drive with restore partion intact

Zones: Norton Ghost Backup Software, Computer Hard Drives, Disk Partition Tools

Tags: microsoft, windows xp, home, operating system and restore partition

I am trying to clone a dell hard drive to a new drive. It has the dell restore partition on it and the restore partition will not work on the new drive although the partition is there. I went from a 80gb to a 160gb drive. The option to boot from this partition is still there at startup but it doesn't take when trying to use it. If I put the old drive back in it works fine. I am using Norton ghost to clone. Any ideas on how to clone these drives without losing the ability to use the restore partition in the future? Thank you
