Try booting to safe mode and see if it repairs. I have not found a freeware
ghosting package that works everytime. You can try again, but I would back
up the files you want to keep from the old drive, then format and reload
Windows to the new drive. You'll also get the benefits of a fresh O/S on the
new drive.
