Solve : Copying hard drive?

Answer»

Hi,

We have a piece of equipment with proprietary software running in DOS (6 I THINK). We INSTALLED a second hard drive and ghosted the drive using norton. It didn't work. We can't BOOT from the drive.
We can't get to DOS command prompt, so we booted from a win98 floppy. I tried formatting the drive in the same computer and xcopying the data over. I still can't boot from the copied drive.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Richarddthats because when you copied the data over, you didnt first make a partion on the drive. Ok, so I FDISK th e drive and create a partition and then copy the data over....right?

Fdisk to create the partition, then Format using the /S parameter to transfer system files to the new drive (IO.Sys, MSDos.sys and Command.com) then copy the data.

See the commands/parameters listed here for MS-Dos ver.6

Good luckyes once you make a partion and THEN format it then you can ghost it with Norton.What version of Ghost is this ? ?
