I have my OS currently on a 250 gb hard drive. There are 2 partitions, a 20 gb and a 230 gb partition. the OS is on the 20 gb partition. I bought a 400 gb hard drive and made a 25 gb and 375 gb partition. I then used norton ghost through a boot up cd to do a partition to partition image from the 20 gb to the 25 gb partition. I removed the old hard drive, put in the 400 gb in it's place, but when I boot, I get a boot disk failure. Anyone know how to fix this? The 25 gb is a primary partition, it should work?!

Thanks
 
I guess there are a few things I have seen that could cause this, but I think we should start in the place the most common mistake is made. Jumpers. Did you remember to switch them up after swapping drives/imaging. Then again if this is SATA....nevermind. Could try fixboot/fixmbr.

Of course if you are goiong pata to sata that presents its own problems.
