Disk image !!

Hi all,
I have a SCSI hard disk drive (2GB) I'm installing on it solaris 5 and some other applications on a sun sparc workstation, I made an image file of this H.D using Norton Ghost 6, then I restored this image file on another H.D.D (4GB), I tried to boot the sun sparc workstation with this new H.D.D but it gave me the message "Bad Magic Number" !!!!!!!, what's wrong? I don't know!! The image file was created successfully and restoring the data was made successfully, the only difference is the size of the new H.D.D, so I want to boot the system normally without loosing the data using the new 4GB hard disk. Please tell me the right way to recover the system back without loses.
Note: is there a way to tell the system that the new hard disk is not 4GB and it is 2GB so that the system can recognize the disk and can boot without any error messages?
Thanks and regards
Please reply Smilie

NAME
raw2hdf - Create an .hdf hard disk image from a raw data file SYNOPSIS
raw2hdf rawfile hdffile DESCRIPTION
raw2hdf converts a binary dump of a hard disk's data into an IDE disk image in .hdf format for use with Sinclair ZX Spectrum emulators. OPTIONS
-v version specifies the version of .hdf image to be created. Valid values are `1.0' for a version 1.0 file and `1.1' for a version 1.1 file. Defaults to creating version 1.1 files. rawfile specifies a raw data file (or block device corresponding to an actual disk) to be converted. hdffile specifies the .hdf file to create. NOTES
Since raw2hdf has no knowledge of the geometry of the disk from which the original image was taken (indeed, the input file need not origi- nate from a real IDE disk at all), there is no guarantee that the information contained in the .hdf file header accurately represents the original disk. However, it will attempt to construct a header that is consistent with the size of the image, to produce an .hdf file which is functionally equivalent. BUGS
None known. SEE ALSO
