New HD Question

[hukilai]

Does your ghost have options to restore whole disk or different partitions (logical disks)?

I guess if you restore in "disk to disk" mode it will replacate the old structure disk, therefore if it had a single 160 Gb partition, it will create exactly this. And in this case you do not neet to format and partition your HD. After restore is complete, you will probably find that you have some unallocated space on your drive, where you can create another partition.

In "partition to partion" mode you can choose to which partition to restore your data. In this case you would need to partition your HD first (either with XP setup disk or with some third party tool), but it will allow you restore your data to a bigger partition.

This sounds right. You probably restored the partition rather than the entire disk. If you did that then Ghost would have formatted the drive with its old specs. I.e. a max of 160 Gb.
