Alright. So, I thought I had some idea what I was doing. I hooked up my new 80gig 7200 rpm samsung drive and partioned it, then I used norton ghost to copy my old data from my previous hard drive to the new hard drive. That all seemed to go fine, so I switched my old HD to slave and my new HD to master and switched the EIDE cable positions and rebooted, my old hard drive still came up as C and my new as D drive then, when I remove my old hard drive completely, my computer boots, recognizes the new HD as C and then loads XP until I can see a mouse cursor and a blue windowsXP logo but my start menu/desktop dosn't load. I get the same thing in safe mode, Where have I gone wrong? I appreciate the help as always.
