I've ghosted my IBM laptop drive and am trying to get to the Diagnostics
partition. It does not seem to be an option.

I cant boot from the original boot partition either. The Drive works great
when I put it in another machine as a second drive.

BIOS Sees the new Drive.

Any Suggestions?
 
With what software did you "ghost" the drive,hd mfg software wont work in xp,
to ghost or clone the drive,use xps XCOPY.

Is the partition set to active? If not, you will be able to use it as a
secondary drive but it will not boot.

Thank you all for your replies.

Looks like by default Ghost does not copy the MBR when you do a Drive to
Drive copy. Once I enabled the MBR Copy I was able to get the Press F11 for
Product Recovery and the first partition was bootable.

Thanks,
