Ghost 14 and MBR

Attempting to replace laptop hard drive with a brand new (unformatted) hard drive.  Made a backup of the three partitions using Ghost 14.  During the restore process, used Express (recommended).  Cannot get access to the new hard drive.  Used the Ghost 14 CD to start the computer.  Was able to see that the partitions exist on the new hard drive.  But it just will not boot.  Was I supposed to also install the MBR?  Now that the new drive is no longer "new", the Ghost CD does not want to let me install the MBR.  I'm lost . . . and could use a little guidance.
