want to upgrade server hardware and move system software
to a new bigger HDD
using ghost program to clone drive
the procedure seems make a good copy
but it will not boot
anybody been here??
 
The drive may not be set as active. This is actually quite common with desk
cloning software.
Seeing as how it's a server hard drive, the partition is likely NTFS. An
easy way to do this would be to use another system that can read NTFS and do
it within windows.
There are third party software like Powerquest volume manager but it's quite
expensive.

If this is not the case, then it could just be that the boot files are not
there. A repair of windows should fix that.

Clone once again as disk-to-disk and not partition-to-partition or use
regular fdisk to make an active partition or boot from W2k CD into
RecoveryConsole and 'fixmbr', 'fixboot'.
