I am trying to upgrade from a regular ATA hard drive to a SATA hard drive.
The motherboard (intel 875P chipset) has the SATA controler built in. I used
Drive Image 7.0 and the copy drive function however when I tried to boot the
machine it was ok it got to where windows is supposed to start but it didn't
do anything. Is it possible to do what I want without having to reinstall
Windows.
 
Are SATA drivers required to be loaded onto the original ATA drive prior to
cloning it onto the SATA drive?

Not sure, I wonder if Windows Repair would work. You have to load the drivers
like you would with an install.
 
You should have received a floppy with the motherboard that has the SATA
drivers on it. A repair install and the floppy should do it.
