Cloning xp to new drive

I am trying to clone my c: drive to new one. My old drive is 40gigs and new one is 80Gs. I am using Ghost 2003. After i ghost drive my problem is that it is called f: drive now. How can I over come this problem? When ever I try to do something it wants to go to c:. But everything on drive now is f:.

 

Christer has that pretty well covered here.

 

this may help

it's 8.20 am over here in gibraltar so please bare with me..

1, Have you changed the jumper settings on the on the two HD's.

i guess you want to boot from the 80 gig so that should by set to the primary master and the 40 gig can be set to the primary slave.

if your using an 80-way IDE cable then you can use the cable select jumper settings.

if thats that sorts the problems out and you still cant boot into the new hard drive then here's a little tip i use from time to time.

get a hold of a windows 98 startup disk, boot into this disk. There's no need for cdrom support, at the command prompt type the following

fdisk /mbr

hope this helps you out

Clone xp to new drive

Thanks ya, I figure out that what I had to do is make boot disk from ghost and ghost the drive in dos. I wanted to replace my 40g with the 80g drive. I am putting the 40g drive into another machine. But when I ghost while in windows it would give the new drive new name ,F:. When i would replace with the new drive the computer saw it as F:, and my programs would not work because it look for C:. But now since I have ghosted it dos, it seems to be working and is seen as C:. Boy this was a job for me to figure out.
