I have an old SCSI HDD (connected to an Adaptec 50 pin SCSI controller) and I want to pass all the information to a bigger SCSI HDD connected to a different SCSI controller (Adaptec 68 pin 19160, UltraSCSI 160). I tried to make a ghost image but I cannot boot the PC from the new SCSI unit (the PC shows me a ugly black screen and nothing seems to happen). I also tried to make a ghost image on an IDE HDD and the result is the same: it doesn't work! What (and how) can I do to copy the old SCSI unit contens on the new one? Thanx to everybody Glups

...if you changed your system in any (hardware)way during the change then your computer might not boot

There are a number of considerations that you need to understand to make this move successful. Even then it might not work. Black screen with flashing cursor in the uppper left corner means didn't find a drive with a boot sector. First you have to make sure the U160 driver is loaded and set to boot in NT. The drive that gets the image must be set to id0/bootable by the scsi bios. Otherwise, if this doesn't work, you can do your ghost to the U160 and then do a repair install where you hit f6 during the hardware detection phase and load the u160 driver via floppy disk. This should keep all your apps [this is repair not new install] but you will have to do all your service packs again. This will set this controller as the boot device. Last but not least you have to have the other scsi drive out of the system. I wouldn't have any drives in the system except the U160 until you can boot normally. I would even take out the other controller to free up resources.
