Default "Error loading OS"

In my experience with Ghost, it works best when the
original HDD is master on primary ide and the new one is
master on the secondary ide. As far as using Install and
then the Repair option with XP, it works best when you
uninstall the anti-virus programs. However, it does seem
as though you have a defective chipset on the mainboard.
-----Original Message-----
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.
