Clone of WinXP

You might try running sysprep first. Then clone, then when it boots up, you'll need your key and will have to reactivate. The 2 drives are in different classes and may confuse the operating system. Personally, I would leave the 60G for the system. Should be enough. Use the large space for backups, ghost image of system, and video/music.

The best way, in my opinion, to ghost using Norton Ghost is to use Norton boot disk and connect only the two hard drives (HD) in different IDE channel.
For example, the Primary Master is the source and the Secondary Master the destination HD. Also make sure to use the high speed (80-conductor) cable.

If you still have a problem, check the destination HD. Do a HD diagnostic test and make sure it passes. Do a low level format on the destination HD before the ghosting.

If the HD still has the problem of booting, boot the computer with a Windows 98 Startup disk and run ?Fdisk /mbr? without the quotes.

But if you run Sysprep you will need to reactivate. I would go with Mark. Unless you don't want to reactive.

i started a dell with a 2gb win95 hd (what a throwback) it said it didnt have the drivers to run this large strange technology or something. drives over 140 or something need support for a larger file allocation table to be enabled but if you already used the drive with that os thats probably not the problem. winxp for my sisters laptop wont load on anything but a dell and i know that thats certianly a bunch of nonsense. Check the jumper in the back of the hard drive and make sure you update your intel chipset drivers. i couldnt get a removable ntfs to run on 98 until some drivers were installed, maybe it was via and windows too. i cant remember.
