I tried both cloning to a second IDE drive and restoring to a second drive. The newly restored/cloned drive starts to boot then stops at the Windows xp splash screen and goes no further. I received no error messages after the Ghosting process---but the newly Ghosted drive is of a slightly different size than the original (original is 8.26 GB vs. 8.74 GB for the Ghosted drive.

Also, I've tried switching the jumper setting on the HD around from slave to master.
