Hi
Basically I built my PC nearly 3 years ago and wanted to upgrade the internal 120Gb to a 250Gb.
I copied the drive using Symantec Norton Ghost 10.0 and I checked the drive and all the data had been copied onto the new drive successfully.
So I took out my old 120Gb and put my new 250Gb in.
I made sure the jumper was on Master as it should be on my config and I also noted the motherboard detected it fine.
However, whenever it went to bootup, I just got a message saying "Press a key to reboot". I'd reboot and get the same message again!
In the end, I put my old 120Gb back in but I want the 250Gb in there. I'd prefer to have it boot up with all my settings and files intact - thus the whole point me copying the drive.
Do you think I should just format the new drive and do a clean installation of XP?
Thanks
