We have a number on new PCs that are using the Intel D865GB
motherboard. These PCs currently have installed a Seagate ST340014A
(40GB) hard drive. (all drivers and devices are detected) We want to
install Seagate ST380817AS (80GB)drives in them. We first tried using
Ghost 8.0 to perform the cloning procedure. The cloning worked
perfectly fine (all drives were detected fine and the cloning worked
great). However, when we try and boot the PC from the SATA drive, the
initial Windows startup screen appears (white with the blue bar) and
then freezes at about 50%. If you try to boot in safe mode, it only
makes it to agp440.sys before freezing.
We then tried putting both the IDE drive and the SATA drive in a
different PC and used Ghost 9.0 to perform the operation. Again, the
clone worked fine, but when you try and boot the PC with the SATA drive,
it freezes in the same place.
We then also tried Acronis True Image 8.0 and got the same result
(clone works fine, but Windows freezes).
Since the cloning works, I guess it must not be a Ghost problem, so my
question is, what steps are people who clone from an IDE to a SATA drive
in the same system taking? Since it's on the same motherboard, it can't
be some sort of HAL issue, right?
