Trouble Loading Windows

I just did a drive to drive copy of the existing hard drive with a new hard drive (the old drive was a 100GB seagate drive and the new drive is a 160GB seagate drive) and now when windows loads it hangs at the Windows log in screen but none of the user names are listed to log in. I tried booting in safe mode but it keeps crashing and restarting itself when I tries to boot in safe mode.

The computer is an eMachines T4010 with an Intel Celeron D 340, 512 MB Pc3200 memory, DVD/CD-RW.

What did you use to copy the drive?
If you used Ghost or Acronis its very important that when the image is compete that you shut down and unhook one of the drives.

I was using Western Digital's Data Lifeguard Tools. I tried using Norton Ghost but it errored out saying it Cannot create a virtual volume image.

Are you using this newly copied drive in the same computer or a different one?
