Norton Ghost - After cloning, WinXP stops short of showing user names

Have a 60GB drive with 2 partitions:
1st: 10GB with Win98SE
2nd: 50GB with WinXPPro

Bought a new 160GB drive and made 2 partitions, 30GB and 130GB. Norton Ghost seemed to clone the partitions just fine. Original drive as MASTER, new drive as SLAVE. All the data looks like it is there.

Booting from the new drive Win98SE starts up fine. However, WinXPPro stops short of showing the user names. It shows the dual-boot menu, gets to the light blue screen that shows "Windows XP" then it should show the user names to log in. All drive activity stops and I can't even CTRL-ALT-DEL. This is with my original drive unplugged from power and IDE cable and the new drive jumpered as MASTER.

I haven't found anything useful in the included Norton Ghost Help or on their website.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Well, it still does the same thing after re-cloning the XPPro partition.

I compared the bootlog.txt file of my original drive and the new drive and it looks like some drivers are not loading. How can XP only find some of the drivers when it's looking at the same boot drive?!?!?
