Question Cloned drive won't boot

Hello to all, I’ve recently copied my hard drive to a new one using Norton Ghost 12
I now can’t get the cloned drive to boot.
I m running vista ultimate.
Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.

Is the cloned drive installed by itself?

That link tells you to sys the drive - this is NOT possible with Vista.

IDE or SATA drives? Sizes? Exactly how did you clone them?

Yes, but it does contain other helpful troubleshooting suggestions that may fix the problem.

Two Sata drives one is 320GB other is 130GB.
As far as I can see there's only one way to clone in Norton Ghost 12.
Any further appreciated.
thanks
