Cloning Hard Drive
I've used Norton Ghost to clone my 32G Western Digital
hard drive to a new 160G Samsung drive. I have several partitions for Windows ME, programmes and data. I've used Ghost successfully in the past to clone my drive to another 32G drive, but I thought I could use a larger drive to install different OS's, including XP. After removing the 32G drive and reconnecting the new one, I can sometimes boot into ME, but I get all sorts of intermittent DLL error messages and memory faults when I try to run several programmes, including Windows Explorer. Also, after rebooting, I've started to get a red screen telling me that the boot anti virus cannot initialise. I've wiped the disk clean and done a clean XP install, which works fine, so I know it's not the new drive. Can anyone tell me if there are known issues with cloning ME to larger hard drives? By the way, the Bios of my m/b (Aopen AX63Pro) only recognises 136G of the new drive. |
