Hi, I am attempting to clone an old IDE hard drive using Norton Ghost 2001. I followed PCmech's instructions on how to connect the IDE cables, jumper settings, and hard drive placement. However, when I boot up my PC and enter Norton Ghost, it only recognizes one hard drive at a time. It thinks that the Primary slave (the new and empty IDE hard drive) is the primary master and vice versa. Therefore, Norton Ghost refuses to clone because the old hard drive is recognized as the slave with little available space to clone to. I checked everything and even switched the jumper settings, nothing works! Please help me with cloning my hard drive!
