Cloning volumes and now they're unbootable?

    I have with me a 2.5" 40GB SATA HDD from a laptop.

    I ran Norton Ghost 2003 to clone the disk onto a 2.5" 120GB SATA HDD.

    The cloning operation went by without any problems, except now the volume isn't bootable. After POST the computer just sits there with a flashing/blinking underscore cursor in the top left.

    I've ran, in the following order:

    fixboot, fixmbr, bootconfig /rebuild, and fdisk /mbr

    ....all to no avail. Any ideas? This is kinda urgent.
