Cloned new HDD, but get "No bootable device found" when installed

I purchased a 60 Gb 1.8" drive for my Dell X1 laptop. The old drive is working find, but I wanted more storage. I cloned the old drive using xxClone and compared drives. They seem to be the same. When I install the new drive, I get the "No bootable device" error and can't even get to a dos prompt.

I cloned a spare 30 Gb drive and installed it. It functions perfectly.

I'm able to use the 60 Gb drive as a storage device using a usb cable, but it just won't function as the system drive, so I don't think it is defective.

Is there a way to get this drive to be recognized by the laptop and to be used as the system drive when installed?

Thanks

You can download the ISO file for Partition Wizard, a free disk copy utility, and burn a boot CD (http://www.partitionwizard.com/partition-wizard-bootable-cd.html). Then boot to the CD on the laptop with the new hard drive and have a look at the disk properties to see if the partition is set to Active and not hidden. Sometimes changing the partition properties can make the hard drive bootable again.
