cloning xp with ghost 2003
I need a little help. I am Building a new cpu for my mother in law. I did a fresh install of xp pro on her hard drive. But drive is too small (3. 1 gig wd) so I used norton ghost 2003 to a bigger drive, but now the new drive will only boot to starting window screen with no user buttons to log on to.

never mind, evidently when ghosting xp, you must not allow the computer to reboot after cloning disk. so i formated new drive, let ghost do its thing then as ghost reboots system, shut down moved new drive to primary ide and all is fine. amazing the things you can figure out when you go to support pages of software manufatures.
everybody have a great day.
