Installed New HD

[Guest]

Have recently installed a new hard drive and used Norton Ghost to transfer
the OS over to this new HD. NewHD is WD 36gig Raptor(SATA), and old HD is a
120 gig Maxtor 7200rpm. My problem is when I start the computer the old
Maxtor is still crunching away as if it was the main drive and it is very
load. Is it common during startup of a computer to have both drives working
at the same time? Or is there something I may have missed during the transfer
of the OS?
Any help would be great.
Thanks

What exactly did you do? Unless you did a clone, the new drive will
not boot. And I assume that you placed the new drive in the master
position on the cable?
