If you read the lower half of this thread, you'll see that I made a terribly
amateur mistake - I had pulled out the IDE cable from the motherboard and
that's why the 120 GB drive was not being recognized. Once I plugged the
cable back in, the original drive worked as always. However, I could never
get Acronis to create a bootable clone on the 650 GB drive, no matter which
options I tried.
So I did have a viable drive on which to load Casper 5, and I had no trouble
cloning the existing drive after that.
I have also ordered another new drive (1TB) that I will use as a backup for
my PC, my Mac, and my wife's laptop. No more taking chances!
Thank you for the time you took to help,
