Help Upgrading HD with Norton Ghost

I am just now copied the data from my Raptor (C) to my Samsung Spinpoint (D) with North Ghost. I wanted to make my Samsung Spinpoint the boot drive because I am taking the Raptor out of my system. But now everytime I try to boot my System without the Raptor, it will not work. I need to have both drives connected even though I copied over all my info from the raptor to the samsung. I think it has to do with the pagefile or something. Can someone please help and tell me how I can get it running with only the Samsung drive? Thanks.
 
Have you set the BIOS to boot from the Samsung instead of the Raptor?

If you've cloned the drive using Ghost, it is now a near-as-makes-no-difference forensic copy, and should boot without issues (driver issues notwithstanding).
 
Yes I've set it in BIOS. So I really dunno why this is happening. The drive boots by itself. But once Windows loads it asks me to put in a PW (and currently I have it set to boot normally, without asking for PW's). So I just put in my user name, and hit enter with no password. Windows does the boot up music, but nothing happens on the screen. It stays the same with the blue background, and just the cursor. So basically it is loading, but I'm not being able to see it.

I dunno what went wrong?

I'd try Ghosting it again; either something didn't copy properly, or you have a specific driver that throws a tantrum when it doesn't see the Raptor.

WOO!! Thanks alot for that info. This program worked for me. I had tried Norton again a 2nd time, and it still didn't work. But this Acronis program worked flawlessly, and I am now up and running on the Samsung.
