have a look to see if the ls120 is master if its on the same ide cable then the hard drive needs to be set as slave. y dont you put both hard drives on one ide cable, and anything else on another one.

well from what you said try running your pc with one IDE cable.

Connect on that cable your new disk, and make sure it is set to Master. dont have the ls120 connected.

boot it up, and see if your disk can be found. if it gives an error tell me what it says.

Just a thought. You have plugged the power in?

Then the ghosting process went wrong, and ur bios is probably seeing the drive. Did you format the drive first?

Lol! Yes the drive needs to be formatted first before you use norton ghost, otherwise it will chuck everything over without an active MBR so it wont boot
