The new HD must not be partitioned. Copy each into unallocated space.
I will try that, Will I still have the correct space of the 1tb drive?
Your SRP and C: drive will be exactly the same size as the original partitions.
OK I gotboth the system reserved and the c: backed up to new drive.
But now I get missing BOOTMGR when trying to boot from the new 1t drive
When you copied, did you set the SRP or the C: drive, Active?
Thank you Brian...
Now do you know how to make the new partittion "Syetem Reserved" to be hidded again :)
You didn't answer my question but I assume you made the C: drive active instead of the SRP. Please don't get ahead of me or I'll get confused.
Where are you at present?
Im sorry, I did as you said Made the system reserve Partition Active, Then it booted fine.
Nice work. In Win7, open Disk Management and remove the drive letter of the SRP. Done!
Thank you Very much.
If you ever want to remove the SRP completely.....

I don't have SRPs.
Hey Brian,
If you remove the SRP, can you reclaim the 100MB or is it just lost space. I know you can expand the partition at the end, but can you at the beginning?
Brian, do you think if the page file is move to a different drive then C: will it speed up the system at all?

Yes you can reclaim the space. If you want to do it, let me know when you are ready.

You will get several answers on this. Practically I don't think it makes any difference even when it is on another HD.
Thanks Brian. I will leave the Pagefile on c: then.

In what was would this affect windows 7??

I didn't appreciate this was a general inquiry situation. I'd use BING to Slide the partition to remove the 100 MB of unallocated free space. Then you would deal with the end of the partition. Add the 100 MB to the end of the C: drive if there was a following partition. As the partitions would be 2048 sector aligned you would enable this in the BING settings before doing the Slide.

Win7 would perform no differently whether the 100 MB of unallocated space was there or not.
Within Win7 I can not do anything. It tells me I have to boot from the CD/DVD. I have done that several times. I chose the latest recovery and sometimes it takes 50 sec which is impossible since the image I know if 40+ gigs. I have it going now and looks like it will take about 1-2 hrs. I will see what happens on reboot but I am not optimistic it will work
Set drive active (for booting OS)
Restore original disk signature
Restore master boot record
I have all those checked like I said but was getting bootmgr no found and then autochkdsk not found. I don't know what is going on. I have used previous versions of Ghost before and didn't have this many issues.
I took an image with ghost 15 and had to send my laptop in for repair. The hard drive was replaced and when I booted from the boot disk and choose the recovery point and rebooted all I got was bootmgr is not found. Then I ran a repair and then got autochkdsk not found and just reboots and that goes in a loop.
When I boot from the CD I see 2 things to select. One only show system reserve and the other shows C:\*. Do I select both? I did set the options for set active, restore master boot record and make bootable.
I reinstalled the OS but would like to get the pc back to where it was. Do I now just install Norton and within Win7 do a recover my computer? Do I need to anything special?
Looking to getthis back up as soon as possible.

dtsteinb,
Almost certainly this means you didn't restore the SRP or you set the wrong partition Active. Do you have a backup recovery point for the SRP? It will be about 10-30 MB in size.

These are Win7 issues and not Ghost issues.
