What version of the maxblast software are you using? Is the source
(120 GB) drive a Maxtor drive, if not, what brand/model? Older
versions of Maxblast will clone properly regardless of the brand of
the drives, but there are reports the newer version does not clone
non-Maxtor drives. One other possibility is the old drive is
producing read errors, perhaps you might run the manufacturer's
diagnostic on the old drive and see if it is working properly.
