Have you thought of using PowerQuest's Drive Image? I am saying this because, we use Ghost regularly at work (on windows machines only) and we have not had a problem.
Maybe, try installing the RH7.2 drive as a second drive on another machine (windows). Ghost the drive, and then see if it works. Like John Matthews said, you'll need to rerun Grub/LILO to correctly configure the mbr. Let us know if you can get it to work.
