We're not having good luck.
Is the new HD jumpered as a master now? Does it look OK in the BIOS?

Yep, Master!
BIOS reads good. Shows model #.

What about copying to external flash drive then copying to NEW HD? This will more than likely turn up the same.

helpdesk101,
Could you install the old HD as master and make the new HD the slave. Boot to WinXP and look in Disk Management. Do both HDs have the same partitions and look identical?

Wow, I attached a screen shot of the NEW HD. It did some wild partitioning.

Wow is correct.
This may work. Remove the old HD. Attach the new HD as a master. Boot to a Win98 floppy and run fdisk /mbr
If it doesn't work, could you run disk diagnostics on that HD. It may be a sick HD.

I don't have access to 98 floppy. I am running checkdisk
I actually hope this Disk is sick!

I'm not so hopeful for fdisk /mbr but this does the same...

Download this .ISO and burn it (as an image, not as data) to a CD.
I use ImgBurn but if you use Nero, it's Recorder, Burn image.
Boot to the CD. You will see "Press any key to rewrite MBR". Press a key and you will be instructed to "Press ENTER to reboot" so press ENTER and remove the CD.
I'll be away for a few hours.

I looked at your screenshot of your hard drives.
I noticed your OLD hard drive is only 20GB. Are you sure that the BIOS in the computer supports large hard drives?
You might need to update your BIOS to make it support larger hard drives correctly.

Just uninstalled GHOST 14 and installed GHOST 2003. Tried and Failed to clone. (Disk to disk)
Updated the BIOS and tried again. Still Failed.

Wouldn't you know it. It worked. I guess using a host computer to copy a drive to a new drive doesn't work too well.
Note to readers:
C:// Host
D:// OLD/SMALL HD
to
NEW HD
DOES NOT WORK.
Although: Please let me know if anyone else has made it work.

I don't think Ghost 14 (or earlier versions) was ever intended to.
You are supposed to purchase a separate license for each pc you want to use Ghost on. I suspect Ghost put some of c://Host onto NEW HD. Probably the mbr of NEW HD was created from c://Host.
If what you are looking for is some sort of hardware "disk duplicator". Or some software that is a offline CD Boot cloning software.
Ghost 14 has to be installed on the pc it is intended to be used on. In your case that would be c://Host,
So if you had intended to copy a new drive from c://Host to NewHD and then use NewHD on that pc, you would have been ok.

Yes I agree. Brian always comes through!
Brian, I'm curious now, have you ever used Ghost in one pc to copy hard drives that came from another pc? Do you agree that the problem above was caused by (probably) the wrong mbr being copied to NEW HD of Helpdesk101?
