Don't worry. It will work. One way or another.

To restore Win7...

 

Boot from the Ghost CD and click Recover My Computer.

View recovery points by Filename

Browse to your image

On the Drives to Recover screen click Edit and select the unallocated space on the SSD. You may have to delete a phantom drive

see http://community.norton.com/t5/Other-Norton-Products/New-Hard-drice/m-p/253329#M24922

 

Select....

Resize drive after recover

Primary partition

Check for file system errors ......

 

When finished, shutdown and disconnect both SATA HDs. Power on and boot from the SSD.


The "restore original disk signature" option is prechecked in the "Edit target drive and options" menu. Do i leave it?

If you click Edit you have full control over the boxes.

 

Use my options. Get rid of the tick.

 

Edit..  You are close now. I'll be away for an hour and I hope to hear of success when I return.

So do you mean I should uncheck it. I know I have full control over them, I just don't know if I should leave that box ticked.

Ok just reread your message. Got it, I shall untick it. Thanks.

Re: help cloning HDD to SSD with NORTON GHOST 15

Recovery for Win7 was complete. I unplugged my other HDDs and booted from SSD. I got the "Please insert windows cd" screen, in other words it did not work. When i plugged my HDDs back and went into disk manager, it has the OS partition (as F:) but it only says: Primary partition. 

whereas for my original os parition it says:

[boot, page file, crash dump, primary partition]

 

I think i'm going to give up. Once again thanks for everything you have done. You are a good person.
