What do I need to do so that Norton Ghost 15 will successfully "clone" one hard drive to another hard drive? (see log).
What do I need to do so that Norton Ghost 15 will successfully "clone" one hard drive to another hard drive (see log).
I have used Ghost feature "Copy My Hard Drive" feature.
Running this successfully copies the contents of my computer's C: drive to another blank hard drive.
However, when I disconnect the original C: drive and then put the new replacement hard drive (that had the contents of the old C: drive copied to it), this hard drive is recognized by the computer's BIOS, but this new replacement hard drive won't boot into Windows XP.
This happens even though the entire contents of the old C: drive have been copied to the new, replacement hard drive. I verified that the ghost process completed successfully by using Windows Explorer to view the contents of the new replacement hard drive before I removed the old hard drive and put the replacement hard drive in its place.

Yes, both of the hard drives are IDE.
The original C: drive is 80 GB. The new, replacement hard drive is 300 GB.
How do I "Set drive active (for booting OS)" in Norton Ghost 15?

The system doesn't even run the Power On Self Test while the 300GB IDE hard drive is connected.
However, whenever I boot into the BIOS, the 300 GB hard is recognized.
I am ghosting to a larger hard drive to give the user more storage space.

Finally reverted back to Norton Ghost 6.03 boot floppy to Ghost these two hard drives. Worked like a charm.

Also, I am ghosting a Windows XP partition, not Windows 7.
