Cloning IDE to SATA

[Poofky]

Need help!

Running an Albatron PX865Pro Motherboard. I was using an IDE drive and decided to install a SATA. No problem, Windows see's the drive and I have formatted it. I now would like to clone my IDE drive onto the SATA drive and remove my IDE drive. I have tried Ghost 2003 and have been on the phone with tech support. Cannot get the clone to take place. Are there any other clone programs out there that may work?

Is that the norton version, cause it worked for me?

y not juss transfer them from My Computer? that would be smart

The version of Ghost 2003 by Norton.

I was under the impression that just transferring files through My Computer would leave some files behind. When certain files are being used, they will not copy.

I haven't tried a ghost from SATA to PATA drive, but If you have an extra IDE drive, perhaps you could make an iso image of the SATA drive, move it to the extra IDE, then attempt a ghost from the extra drive's stored iso to the preferred pata drive.

That is an interesting idea!

Thanks

you can also try using DriveImage or PartitionMagic
