Copying C: to new partition on bigger HDD?

[Devilman]

Got some problems here, I know I done it last time but cannot get it to work now.

Trying to copy the origional contents of a 20gig HDD (my C to a new empty (unalocated) partition at the begining of a 120gig HDD (the other partition has stuff on it).

Trouble is, if I clone the partition with ghost, the new partition wont boot from the 120, same deal with the copy partition in Partition Magic 8.0

I just get an error about "file missing C:\<windows root>\system32\HAL.DLL"

I think the problem has something to do with the new partition not getting asigned a drive letter, or not set as bootable.

If I put the 20gig back in and boot from that, it shows it as E: and disk management says its the system drive, while C: (the new partition on the 120) shows as just "active"

Any idea how I can get this to sucessfully clone my existing 20gig onto the 20gig partition on the new HDD and get it to boot, cus its driving me nuts now lol.

S'ok, got it sorted in the end, had to FDISK and set the partition as bootable (even tho it was already active) and then it worked.
