I'm trying to upgrade to a newer bigger HD. I used Norton Ghost to copy the entire drive.
The I went into bios and gave it a new hard disk boot hard disk boot priority. New drive then old drive. At first I thought it went smooth until I checked the properties of C:. Same old drive. So I unplugged the old drive and tried again. Windows hangs up on the blue screen, not a BSOD, but the one with the little XP logo that usually says Windows is starting.
A couple of questions.
First, Ghost wanted to know if I wanted to copy the MBR which I did. Should I have?
I did check the block for "set the drive to active"
I'm leaning towards reformatting the new drive and trying it again using Paragon partition manager which says it does the same thing.
One last question. I assume Windows will assign C: to which ever drive it boots from?
Thanks for any suggestions.
