clone harddisk

[Peter]

Hello,

I'm trying to clone my old harddisk to a newer one with ghost 6.5
After it seems to copy all the data my system does not boot at all.
Jumpers are ok, the harddisk is properly recognized in the bios so it seems
as if ghost is not working properly.
I've used that program before succesfully so it's not an issue of a good
floppy/boot disk.

It's a simple disk to disk clone, just that the newer one is bigger.
The OS on it is Windows XP on NTFS.

Is there any similar program that will do the job or any other suggestions -
except for reinstalling everything.

Thanks a lot in advance,
Peter

Youcan usually go the drive maker's web site and download a program to clone
a drive, or copy the data off the old one for free.
