I recently bought a new SATA drive, and planned to remove my old IDE drive to place in a computer im building from spare parts. Anyway, when I remove the IDE drive I cant boot my SATA windows installation, because, like an idiot, I left the IDE drive hooked up when I installed windows on the SATA drive, and I guess the boot info wound up on the IDE drive. Any ideas how I could move that boot info to the SATA drive w/out losing any of my data?
btw, windows will boot from the sata drive, but it takes about 10 mins, and then when it gets there it just brings up my background and a mouse cursor, no desktop icons, no start menu or taskbar, nothing.
Thanks!
