Boot failure with message "disc read error occured, press CTL-ATL-DEL to restart

Using Ghost 9.0, created disc backup copy to external HD, then tried to install this copy onto new, exactly same model/brand Hitachi HD, which completed successfully, but boot stopped with first black screen with the above message.

I tried installing XP from disc on same HD drive--it boots, then copied this XP version to same ext HD, tried copying original backup copy again with same boot failure message, then copied the XP backup copy, and it boots fine.

 

I was also copied from original HD to new HD using copy disc with both HDs installed in tower, but again same boot error message. 

Any suggestions?
