Windows XP Pro SP2, single hard drive configuration with two

Have a 200GB hard drive with bad sectors (Maxtor), successfully
backed up with Automated System Recovery, replaced hard drive with a
Western Digital 500GB, ASR keeps failing with message "The capacity
of the current system disk drive is insufficient, and cannot be used
to recover the partitions on the original system disk." I have used
XP boot CD recovery console to format new drive NTFS, replace MBR and
replaced boot sector but ASR will not restore. The ONLY hardware
that changed was the hard drive, all other hardware is identical. I
even slaved drive with original disk and formatted in Disk Manager
(without assigning a drive letter). Each format has been a full
format, not a quick format, using default NTFS parameters and a
single partition of 495+/-GB. Any suggestions?
Just a wild guess: Repartition the 500GB drive to 200+300. Then try. If
that's successful, you can then - by hook and crook - expand the 200 to full
disk capacity.
