Hi everybody! ;-)
I had Windows XP installed on an IDE HDD. Then i bought a new SATA HDD which i formatted and partioned using fdisk. On the second partition i copied all my documents from my IDE HDD.
Then i installed XP on the first partition of my new SATA HDD. I went to Bios, changed the booting order and to my surprise the system did not boot! So i formatted the IDE HDD and tried again. Still no booting!
Then i removed the IDE HDD and it booted! Whenever i plug it in back though does not boot. Any help on this???? I tried changing the jumbers on the IDE HDD as well as the SATA controllers. Still no luck!
P.S When formatting the IDE HDD shouldn't all the MBR and boot information go away???
