I am trying to install a new hard drive into a computer and hopefully avoid the need to reinstall all the software. I used Ghost to clone the contents of the current 10G drive to the new 18G drive. I set up the 10G as master on the primary IDE and the new 18G as master on the secondary IDE. When Ghost finishes and I unplug the 10G drive and set the 18G up as primary master, the computer will boot to the new drive and get to Windows 98, but the OS as well as the software are unstable and the computer eventually hangs. I set the CMOS to auto detect everything. Since the drive sizes differ, must I haul out the CD’s and reinstall all the software on the new 18G drive? 10G is 5600 RPM, 18G is 7200 RPM.
Suggestions and insights would be greatlyappreciated.
