I want to install a new and larger hard disk in my computer to run the OS
from. I can't clone it with Norton Ghost as I get an error that says "Could
not fit translated attibutes into buffer size" I've used Drive Image 7 to
clone it and make the disk active, but then when I try to boot from the new
disk nothing works.

Is there any way to install a new larger bootable hard disk, and retain all
my settings and updates?

Imaging is the best way to go, and check your hard drive manufacturer for
updated software to copy the old drive to the new.
