Ghost 15 SP1 Copy My Hard Drive Failed

I am using XP SP3

I tried the copy my hard drive  from a 250gb to a 500 gb drive.

after completion, I removed the old drive leaving only the new drive.

 

When the computer boots up - it hangs just before the logon screen.

 

I did this 3 times.     I finally gave up and used a free product online to copy the drive.

 

The free product worked perfectly.    

 

What happened ?
