Stop 7b error after Ghost
I have installed Ghost on my laptop, and connected two other laptop drives via USB adaptors and copied one drive to another, this is so if one of the laptops goes missing, we have the other one ready to go.
The problem I have is that I am getting stop 7b errors on the ghosted version. The laptops hardware is very similar (but not exact), is this the problem? Can anyone else suggest a better solution to the one I am attempting?
Many thanks in advance

I have seen this issue before. What you will want to do is go into the bios and configure the sata options from acpi ahpi to classic legacy or compatibility mode. This should resolve your issue.
Yes when you do that you are changing to a different hard drive controller; it may or may not have a similar conflict. It depends on the hard drive controllers currently installed in the Windows installation and the hard drive controllers that will be used to attempt to boot it.

Eddie - now downloading the CD you suggested, will post back results.
No SATA involved, just IDE

xxdcmast - as i said this is not sata, ide. However, I have looked into the bios of this ageing Dell Latitude C600 and don't see a setting like the one you have described
Oh wow c600 thats an old one. That defintiely wont have sata drives in it. Sorry

do you think if i try a newer laptop i will get more success?
It is possible; since it will likely be using SATA controllers there will be less chance of a conflict.

tried a sata drive, no joy i'm afraid
You need to use Paragon Drive Backup 9.0 with Adaptive Restore Add-On.
As soon as you restore from backup you take from one machine, boot it from Adaptive Restore WinPE CD and apply Adjust OS. This will adjust OS to new hardware and let you boot into Windows. Also it allows installing drivers for new hardware from the same CD.

The fix_hdc did the trick - my hard drive now boots in my backup laptop.
