Disk upgrade problem :(

[bunnytrigger]

recently tried to upgrade from a 120G IDE HD to a 250G SATA2 HD. Used drivewizard to clone to old one to the new 250G but when it boots, it freezes on the welcome screen where u are supposed to type the username password....

well, it doesnt really freezes, since it allows me to move teh mouse all around teh screeen.....

tried F8 to boot it on safe mode and maybe remove teh pw, but that didnt work either....


my motherboard is a gigabyte ga-81pe1000. it does supposrt sata1 HD's, and yes i set teh drive to operate on SATA1 only, instead of sata2 but i dont know what i did wrong.......

any help would be greatly appreciated guys.

tkx in advance
