After cloning a hdd with norton ghost 2001, I inserted the new hdd in another pc with new motherboard. The machine boots up with Win 2000 Pro, after the ruler bar appeared, a blue screen appears "stop 0X00000007b(.....,00000034,....)
inaccesable boot device. Tried cloning 4 times, and tried original hdd, with the same error. HDD works fine in old pc. Also tried Win repair. HDD not faulty.

Win 2K is trying to load the drivers from the old motherboard. That's why you're getting that error. When you ghost a machine it will only succeed when you are using the exact same hardware.
