"Error loading OS"

I just replaced my 15 GB HDD with a new 80 GB. I used
Norton's Ghost to copy the partition from the old to the
new one but I get "Error loading OS" message. I tried
using the XP Home OEM CD (bought via Ebay) to repair the
installation and reactiveate but it will not go through
that sequence. Does anyone have any solutions. Seems like
MS made allowance for replacing the HD on a PC.

Yes it's called being the retail version.

Maybe, but does that mean that OEM users of XP Home can't
easily replace a HD with a larger one? Seems like there
has to be a better solution than to repurchase XP in
order to replace a HDD and save the applications intact
