Check it out if you need the visual references. Actually, being able to transfer from one computer to another is not dependent on the processor, but the chipset. Even an image created on a source drive with a specific Intel Chipset will fail when restored to a computer with a very different Intel chipset. Using the methodology I have described above, I have been able to clone XP over to any other PC, and have no adverse effects.
Best of all, the solution I have come up involves freeware software. How many hard drives have you successfully cloned using your method? Hi and thanks!

I thought that Ghost cloned a drive but it did not copy that hidden partition on the C drive that Dell put in.
Now, you mention "zeroing a drive". I'm familiar with formating and overwriting but I get the impression that you're talking about removing the formating. How do I "zero" my new drive?
Thanks again, Dale. That is needed if you don't have a floppy drive either way that should help once you boot up to the Powermax it is self explanatory on the zeroing of the SATA drive I have not used the WD utility in a while so I can't really say LOL You really need to read the last 2 links from the previous post about cloning.

Removing previous partitions solved my problem, but apparently not yours. I'll do some further experimentation with this and post back if I come up with anything. Meanwhile, I suggest you give it one more try. But this time, do a full format not quick format so every track is written on, then delete the partition, then rerun the ghost copy.
Ghost must not transfer that - what ever it is - but Acronis did. I could boot up fine off the SATA. I want to get rid of it as its being there bothers me.
