Just got my 64Gb OCZ Core Series SSD (finally), cloned my 120Gb HDD to it using HDCLone 3.2 but it does not boot! (just get a cursor). Any ideas, am I doing something stupid? Tried Windows recovery in case it was the MBR but still nothing... Help?! Thanks

EDIT: Just realised I've been stupid - there is obviously no MBR on my newly cloned SSD as I took the 'Partition > Disk' option in HDCLone 3.2 and not 'Disk > Disk' which would have included the MBR. Obvious. Anyway, cloning again now with 'Disk > Disk' (as the Windows Recovery takes you back to SP2) and will see if it works after that.
