hi

i am having problems with upgrading disk drive size in my ibm laptop.

i have 60 gig & a new 100 gig unit i want to fit.

i have used maxblast & norton ghost 2003 to clone disk drive, all files
are
bing copied from what i can tell.

however when i put new drive in bay it will not boot up, just get curser
flashing at me, no error message.

i have done a quick test in doing a restore of os onto new harddrive &
that
works but i of course i cant take all my files/setting/programs with me
that
way.

any suggestions please.

many thanks

You've removed the old drive (temporarily at least) before booting, and
you've set the new drive to be active?
