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.



You may have neglected to tell Ghost to copy the
Master Boot Record (MBR) over to the new HD.
Ghost will ask you if you want to make the new
partition "active" and whether you want the MBR
copied, too.
