I am getting a non system disk error after replacing a hard drive. I used a hard drive from an old computer. I replaced it then booted from a usb drive with ghost. I reimaged the laptop hdd and attempted to restart. For whatever reason it is giving me the non system disk error. I have reimaged laptops before with this exact same build before so it shouldn't be the mbr.

Here are the steps I took:

Remove bad hdd
Insert used hdd
Reimaged using norton ghost (a known working image of win 7)
Set bios to factory settings


Any tips or advice would be great. Thanks

Unfortunately I don't have that info on me right now but I was using the exact same image on the bad hdd with no problems as well as the one I am replacing it with.
