:-| 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.

or, as it has many timmes happened to me, ghost didn't transfer the drive image correctly. try to re-copy the hdd again
