| 780129 | 2009-06-07 07:12:00 | Could be right there Blam regarding the bootable CD - You can use one of several Partitioning tools, many available. The problem with Ghost, esp the newer versions it sometimes wont let you resize the drives, These days I use Paragon's drive Copy, or Acronis. |

| 780130 | 2009-06-07 10:49:00 | OK I've reformated to the full size,Ghosted the 20GB disk across . The options in the copy include : setting the drive active (for booting OS) and copy MBR I have ticked these options. connected the new drive (set as Master) and it only boots to a blue screen (after two splash screens) with a Windows XT logo in the middle. Where have I stuffed up? | DavidW (532) | ||
| 780131 | 2009-06-07 11:04:00 | Sounds like Ghost stuffed up. You would be better off cloning the working drive - then altering the partition to the required size. If one of the drives is a Seagate, download DiscWizard (www.seagate.com) - make a bootable CD from the program, then clone the working smaller drive to the larger - Discwizard is basically the Acronis imaging software, and allows you to alter the partition size to suit when cloning, only thing - ONE drive has to be a seagate. |
