Norton ghost problems

[Sevar]

hey there, ive been working on this for three days now to no avail, im hoping somebody here can help me

i installed norton ghost 9 to backup/upgrade to a new HD.... i can copy the old HD over but cannot boot from it.... when i set the new HD as master it boots up, but then hangs at the windows screen (not the splash screen with the progress bar at the bottom, but a blue screen with a windows logo on it).... another message board said this is a common problem with ghost

i have tried saving an image of the old HD to a 3rd HD and then trying to restore this image to the new HD, but get the following error "restore of U:C_Drive.v2i did not complete successfully. Cannot read data from the image file. Error EBAB0003: This feature is nt yet implemented. (0xEBAB0003)." .... so does this version of ghost not support restoring from an image file?

i also made a ghost bootable DVD and booted up from it, it started the system recovery tool, i click on the "advanced recovery", and then "system restore" and nothing happens.... the computer just sits there... from what i understand it should be looking for an image to restore from, but it doesnt do anything

do any of you have any more ideas?

as far as i know ghost doesn't clone the MBR sector of an old hd to a new one. you need to fix it manually. boot in command prompt and type there fixmbr (http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/bootcons_fixmbr.mspx?mfr=true)

Frankly speaking Ghost isn't as good as it might be. I'd advice you to use other imageing and cloning software like true image.
