I found the solution: Norton Ghost 9 is not compatible with System Restore of Windows XP and Intel Application Accelerator or any other third parts hard disk drivers: Windows freeze on logon. So, before cloning you should disable Windows XP System Restore and uninstall any third parts hard disk drivers and then the cloned hard disk will boot. Remember also to select the options like "set drive active (bootable)" and "copy MBR" (I don't know why they are disabled by default!)
