BQ, you sound like you know your way around Ghost

[James D]

I recently upgraded my hard disk to a larger one and tried to ghost the old
drive to the new one. Having trouble booting to the "new" drive.
I understand with XP there is some tweaking one must do to get this to work
correctly. Any hints/tips?

James I am using the Ghost program that came in the 2003 Norton
Utilities Suit Pro. There was a registry change that I got from
Symantec support. I told them the problem via email and had an
answer back in 24 hours. While I could send you the small
registry change they sent me I would rather not since it may
crash your system. I recommend you go to Symantec and asked them
for the solution to your problem since your hard disks are not
equal in size and I am sure your computer setup is different.

Good luck.
