I have a windows XP machine (specifically a Dell Dimension E521) and I have one of my buddies old hard drives plugged into it. The first boot took me to something about the hibernation I think I chose the second option, but now it always go to error recovery and it can't get in. It's probably a stretch to get that to work so can I wipe it to a clean windows 7.
