What is your setup of partitons on both drives Steve? On what partition is your windows located (the windows folder that is). Is it the first primary partiton on the drive you left in the pc, and this drive is jumpered master on the primary ide channel?

You may need to simply do a "fixboot" and "fixmbr" in the windows recovery console (found when you boot using an XP install CD).. I would think along the same lines as WhoKnows, your either taking out the wrong HDD, or you have saved the boot record on the OTHER Hard drive.
The commands above generally fix that issue.

Thats why, you are removing the drive that would contain the boot infomation.
The first drive allways contains this.

so would I need to put my WINDOWS hard drive into the Primary IDE or could I leave it in Secondary?

Put it on the primary channel (master) to make sure, some older boards have problems booting from the secondary channel. Also make sure that the partition is set active.

All times are GMT + 1 Hour |

... So should that Fixmbr fix it??
