Norton Ghost 9.0 and new SATA drive "copy one drive to another"

[hotister]

Hi dear all:

I just used Norton Ghost 9.0 to backup the whole hard drive from my my
old 150GB EIDE HDD to my new 320GB SATA HDD, and these are the options
that I selected (X means checked):

X Check source for file system errors
X Check destination for file system errors
X Resize drive to fill unallocated space
X Set drive active (for boothing OS)

I also set the Destination partition type to be "Primary partition"
(but didn't assign drive letter), and for advanced configuration
option, I also checked the "Copy MBR"

The copying process went smoothly, however, after I backup the HDD,
turn off the PC, and unplug the 150 EIDE old HDD (so that the only
drive available is the new SATA 320GB HDD), and reboot it again, the
windows XP Pro will prompt me if I want to have a normal start or
command line start (behave like you didn't turn off the PC correctly,
which I did), and if I select the "normal start", it will load the
Windows XP Pro logo, and after few seconds, reboot the whole PC again.
If I choose the command line (or safe mode), it will load up to
gagp30kx.sys driver and then freeze. If I connect both drive (EIDE and
SATA), it will also keep rebooting itself, however, if I unplug the new
SATA drive, everything back to normal and I could boot into XP Pro
again...

Any idea why is this?? Is there any other walk-around for solving this
problem? Many thanks!

Sata are drives are not automatically recognized in XP.......it depends upon
the mobo.
A Repair Instalation ...with the SATA drivers from the mobo CD would correct
this situation.

Why would a backup program taking info off an IDE hd to a SATA hd
possibly configure the SATA hd to start as an OS hd.IDE uses a diffrent
controller off the MB.Also,while IDE to IDE works well,IDE & SATA dont
when mirroring two drives.

Hi,

Possibly the SATA drivers aren't installed for your new drive.
Try connecting your SATA drive only, boot system from your WinXP CD.
Press F6 and insert SATA drivers disk when prompted. Do a repair
install of XP.

Cheers,

Go through your BIOS to check the settings.
Hard disk boot priority
and
first, second, third -- Boot device
