Black Screen After Clone to Larger HDD
Could someone please help!! I recently cloned a 250GB drive (OEM) to a newly purchased 750GB drive. After the clone was successfully completed I shut down the computer. When I attempted to reboot the machine I received only a black screen with a cursor. I can't do anything else. Both my original and cloned drive are doing the same thing. Can someone please provide some advice?? Thanks in advance for all your help.
Regards,

If neither dirve will boot when it alone is in the PC, then go into the BIOS and check the Boot order.
If Grover's prescription doesn't address your issue (and it probably will), it could be that the cloned drive is not being recongnized by Windows as the original OEM installation. In that case I'd suggest making a backup of the original disk. removing the original and putting in the new disk, boot form the ati bootcd and restore following the directions in the userguide

. If youo can't select the hidden partition first, then you might have to restore the main partition first to a desired size, then the hidden partition and the MBR and disk signature.
Good luck.
