Re: Asus A7N8XE-Deluxe - Can't upgrade from IDE to SATA

I made some progress. I installed windows like a fresh install and
could reboot just fine. so then I went back to ghost.. the problem
appears to be with ghost, running in windows. I tried with the new
drive as D and then when I went to do my repair install it saw windows
in D:\windows so that was a mistake. I then redid the ghost, this time
without giving the SATA drive a drive letter and then the repair
install couldn't find the windows install. I expected ghost to make
the SATA drive C:\windows. I guess it can't do that when running
inside windows.

I'm going to try the ghost boot cd without going into windows, and if
that doesn't work, I will try acronis true image. I think ghost is a
piece of crap at this point!!!
