You're a genius!  That worked perfectly.  I used 
the Hitachi software to set the size of the drive 
correctly, and recopied just the Windows 
partition with Ghost 2003 (Acronis isn't bright 
enough, as far as I can tell, to copy partition 
to partition, it wants to do the whole drive or 
nothing.)  That worked perfectly.  Thanks a lot for your help!
