OK. Win7 is slightly more complicated. You had better describe what you see in Disk Management.

What do you mean more complicated? Which part? Should I do something else in Disk Management?

After more research it seems like IBM/Norton Ghost compatability is lacking. Everybody recommend Acronis True Image. Has anyone tried Acronic/IBM which much success? Thanks!

You need to know which partition contains the Win7 booting files. It may not be the Win7 partition. They are in the System, Active partition. The restore options will be different if the booting files aren't in Win7.
Acronis TI is a love it or hate it app. It used to be very hardware dependent. I haven't looked at the Acronis forum much recently so I don't know if it is more loved or more hated.

Let's say you had a HD with two partitions. The SRP and Win7. You want to upgrade to a larger HD using the image/restore method. Here are the Ghost restore options...
For the SRP
Verify recovery point before restore
Partition type : Primary
Check for file system errors after recovery
Set drive active (for booting OS)
Restore original disk signature
Restore master boot record
For Win7
Verify recovery point before restore
Resize drive after recover (only if restoring into unallocated space) (ONLY if you want to)
Partition type : Primary
Check for file system errors after recovery

Thanks a lot Brian. It looks like I am going to try with Norton again but this time using DOS and line command of -IB switch. Are you familiar with this at all? I know how to get to the DOS command prompt in the boot cd but not sure which drive to use for the command line.

Diggs,
The easiest way to clone an IBM laptop HD is to do a reverse clone using CopyWipe for DOS. A free app. You have the old HD in the USB enclosure and the new HD mounted internally. This avoids the geometry issue.
You can run CopyWipe for DOS from a CD or a USB flash drive.

I tried CopyWipe last night exactly like you said but when I removed the old hard drive (USB) and booted up it asked me to insert the Windows 7 install CD and repair start up. I am not sure what is going on...

Did you use Straight Copy or Scale Size?

I did a straight copy I believe.
I tried Acronis True Image and got the same result as the copywipe program but realized it was a hardware error on the boot up so it most likely had to do with the New Hard Drive's drivers. Everything is up and running. Thank you very much for the time you used to help me out.
