Try this....

maxtor MaxBlast dos partition utility. May kag on the drive not being maxtor, but I've used earlier versions to partition everything from seagate to WD,
Also try Seagates DiskWizard , as that may work.
Or try Data lifeguard from western digital.

If you need me to get all technical, the reason the install didn't work is because the copy protections built into Windows will not allow Ghost to access the boot or parts of the system partitions. by booting to dos, you are overriding Windows because DOS will always have full system access whenb booted to, no matter what the OS. That's why all manufactures make an install utility utilizing DOS, it's the only way to have full partition access.

You could also boot to DOS with your old drive as master and use the FDISK and copy partition commands, but that can get complex on drives over 32gb.
