Upgraded HDD w/ Ghost, no boot.

:-| I upgraded from a working 40 gig to an 80 gig HDD using Ghost 2002. When I tried to boot the drive, the boot sector apparently was messed up. My version of Win XP Pro SP2 is an oem and the repair has been dissabled. I ran chkdsk/f and it found problems and fixed them but still no boot without using a boot floppy. I don't want to completely redo the HD, but without the repair ability I'm perplexed as to what to do. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

Normally you have to explicitly make a slave hard disk bootable before it can be used as a master drive. You have not written the boot sector on the hard disk yet.
