Installed new hard drive and won't work

[mp3chic]

I upgraded from a 60GB hard drive to a 320GB hard drive. Copied everything from the 40 to the 320. When unhook the 40 and start up with 320 it goes to start up and goes to a black screen saying Disk error occured press ctrl + alt + del to restart. there are no disks in the computer. The other hard drive will start up just fine though. Any ideas?

Is that a SATA drive or IDE?

The 40G can't simply be copied to the new drive...
What method did you use ? ?

Travel to the manuf. site of the new HDD and DLoad their disk utilities...FREE.
Create a bootable CD following the info at the site.
Hook up the old drive as primary or master with the new one as secondary or slave.
Use the "Clone Drive" option of the utility with the old drive being set as the source and the new drive set as the target...
Let it run to completion...DO NOT interrupt it for any reason.

When finished remove the old drive and hook up only the new drive as primary or master.
Once it boots properly and everything checks out you can then re-introduce the old drive format it and use it for extra storage...
