Hello.

Maybe your 40gig isnt fully compatible with your motherboard. What harddrive did you get?

 

[oryst]

it was a seagate 40gig harddrive that im tring to reboot with

I dont think seagates are compatible with your harddrive. Try a different hard drive like maxtor.

i did and still no luck,,,i tried a western dig,,40gig,,its stops about 30 seconds in with that error GHOSTERR.TXT,,do you know what that means,,

It means Ghost has encountered a problem and (obviously) can't continue. See here for more info (and where to find the log file) and then read the log file once you find it.

If its not harddrive compatibility, it could be bad restore disk. Try a different copy of your restore disk, and eMachines can replace your restore disk for $20.00.
