No idea...That fact that it booted OK into windows usually means that the cloning operation worked OK...Do you have the old drive removed from the system when you start up with the new one?

I honestly cant remmeber i did now. But i may have booted up like a idiot with the old drive still in there

I have found that if you have win 7 then just make an image of the old drive.
Remove the old hdd with the new one then boot off the recovery Acronis cd and restore the image to the new hdd.
You will now have unallocated space on the new hdd (it's larger than the old hdd) so go to disk management and extend the C drive volume to encompass all the unallocated space.
