At this time, your drives should be ready for cloning. Connect your AC power cable and boot up.
Since I don't know what kind of bios setup you have, I'll base these instructions on what our single drive computers do here.
Watch your boot up screen. It should show that you have a Primary Master Drive and a Primary Slave Drive. If so, you are ready. If it doesn't show that, you may have to go into your bios setup and tell it that you have two drives. Usually you access this setup program by pressing Delete as the computer boots up; but some computers use a different key to access the bios setup. Hopefully, your set up program will have an auto detect setting that will detect your drives. If you can't get the program to detect your drives automatically, there is a process that you may have to follow which is another subject altogether and beyond what this writing addresses.

If your computer boots up and both your drives have been detected, you are all set to open your cloning program. When the Ghost page opens, click on Advanced. That will open the Clone Disk to Disk page. When you get to the source/destination page, it'll look like this:
Source disk is listed on this side: Disk 1. Notice that my source disk has 4 drive letters, C:,D:,E:,F:.
Destination disk is on this side: Disk 2. This used disk has 3 drive letters on it. Ghost will wipe them out and clone all 4 drives from Disk 1 to Disk 2.
The source (Disk 1) will already be highlighted. You will use your mouse to highlight the destination (Disk 2). Beneath the two window panes you will find the two drives listed. Below that, click NEXT and you are on your way. Just follow directions. Once the cloning process begins, do not shut down your computer. Ghost will take control and keep control until the clone is finished.
After Ghost finishes and reboots into Windows, it's your turn to shut the computer down. Disconnect one of the drives (the one you will keep as a standby), make sure your jumper is set correctly on the drive that you will keep in service, and you are ready to boot up.
I usually test both drives to make sure each will boot up instead of just assuming they are both bootable.

Before you attempt cloning, read my warning notice located on page C1, paragraph 1.
NOTE: If your destination drive didn't show up in the Ghost window, your computer didn't detect it.
You will have to shut down, reboot and find why the destination drive wasn't detected.

When Ghost begins it's clone, it reboots your computer. When it restarts you will see a window like the one below as the cloning process runs. When Ghost finishes its cloning, it will reboot into Windows automatically.

Note: My Linux partitions show up in the window below, along with Windows. In the source pane, my 4 linux partitions are all identified; in the destination pane only root, swap and empty space show up but the entire drive, both Windows and all Linux partitions DO clone successfully.
