heya guys, as i fix more computers it becomes another day another problem 
alright here is my issue first. this one at least isn't on as big of a time constraint. i have a computer here with a 120gig maxtor drive, i need to clone that drive over to a 160 gig so the 120 can be wiped and moved to a different system. mind you last time i did this was both pre the 137gig barrier and pre windows xp. so i got a copy of norton systemworks and ran ghost to clone the drive to the new one, clones and reboots. i set the new drive to master and plug it in...boom "error loading os". Alright i've been here before, recovery fixboot is a no go, recovery fixmbr is a no go, so i start doing a bit more research, made sure i had sp2 so it could recognize the big drive, also made the starting drive ntfs to fix any fat probs. also i double check to make sure the new drive is being seen as lba, no probs there, and finally i write to zeroes on the drive. reinstall, now i get ntldr is missing press any key to restart. i try copying said files to the drive and still no good. so i'm at a bit of a loss. did i miss something? any help would be awesome
what i'm dealing with:
120 maxtor ata 133 8mb cache etc
160 western digital caviar se
windows xp sp 2
nf7 mobo latest revision
oh and my question, i recently got back into making anime music videos, as such i use alot of space between vob files and raw avi's i'm working with. i need another hard drive but am rather dirt poor at the moment, i was thinking of grabbing a big old cheap drive to store the stuff, maybe like a 40-80 gig drive would 5400 really hurt for that? or should i get a 7200 i figure the 8mb cache is negligible for this but i was wondering what would make a decent storage drive, it would really just be movie files, music and vobs
