I am working from a Laptop and I wanted to clone my old hard C:/(40gb) & D:/(20gb) to a new hard drive of 100gb...i was cloning the new hard drive from a USB enclosure...when i take the new hard drive out and put it in my laptop it will not boot. When i connect it through the enclosure it says that there is only 54GB of space and i cannot access it and whenever i tried to open it, it says that i need to reformat it...i tried to look at it through partition magic and it says that the drive is bad...idk what happened

can anyone help w/ locating my space on the drive that was lost? or what may have went wrong...

Instead of cloning, just backup each partition seperately and restore it seperately.

First partition your new hard drive make each partition at least 1gb larger than the partitions on your source drive. Example since your c: drive is 40gb, the new partition needs to be 41gb and you can make the d: partition take up the remainder space. When you restored the partition most imaging software will let you expand the backup to take all the available space on the new partition. The reason to make the new partition 1gb larger is to prevent drive letter change problems with windows xp.

Any system partition that you restore will be automatically bootable on the new hard drive. Cloning the entire hard drive is not really required.

If the restored hard drive won't boot, use this demo to check your drive letters and boot.ini file.
