Changing disk drive

I want to upgrade my hard drive from 30GB to 60GB.

In the past, I have used PowerQuest Drive Copy which would copy all
the logical drives to the new drive and allow resizing the new
partitions.

I tried this now and even though the program says it completed
properly, the new drive will not boot.

I am using WinXP Pro SP2.

Is there something in XP that prohibits changing drive sizes?? Or, is
the program missing something since it is pre-WinXP.

Or, is there another program that will accomplish the same function.

Any help or hints would be greatfully appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.

Joe
 
This sounds like that the boot-sector isn't written properly. The easiest way
(I think) is to boot from the Windows-CD and perform the "Repair
installation" option. This should fix up your boot sector.
