I've made a usb HD with many programs in Easyboot with a 80GB USB HD. My partitions are .... 10GB for Easyboot and the rest in the second partition of 70GB for data storage. But now I find that 70GB for data is not large enough. So I change to a 160GB HD.
I use ghost, acronis to backup the 40GB HD's 10GB partition and restore to the 160GB HD's 10GB partition. It can't boot correctly. Then I delete all the partitions in 160GB HD to become one partition only. As in the Winbuklder USB script, it doesn't allow a USB HD which has more than a partition. I use Winbuilder USB to write one program in 160GB HD and it boots well. So I resize the 160GB HD to 10GB with Easyboot program in it, but it boot fail right the way.
I know it may be the USB HD MBR matter. I'm thinking if I can only copy all the programs and content from 10GB partition of the 80GB HD right to 160GB HD's 10GB partition. Then I just insert the MBR to this 10GB paritition of 160GB (it is first primary partition of course).
Is there actually a way to insert MBR ? Please help. Thanks

Did you make your usb HD patition (restoring part) Active partition??
It seems your restored partition is not active partition,and may be
i did not understand the problem clearly.

Yes you can – but you need a tool to insert the Grub-MBR.
Download tool from HERE
Follow tutorial how to use this Grub-MBR-tool HERE
Attention! Be careful so you don’t destroy MBR on you “root-disk” [C:]
And as madar points out – make sure that partition one is the active partition – otherwise BIOS can’t find any partition to boot the USB harddisk.
