Hello.
I've got a system that was configured to duel boot to Windows Xp and Windows
98, with each partition on its own hard drive.
Xp is on a 40GB parallel IDE drive and Win 98 is on a 17 GB drive
Anyway recently I replaced the motherboard with an second hand Asus P2P
board.
I attached all the drives to it but when it first booted up the bios didn't
recognize the larger drive. I then updated the bios to the latest version
that Asus make for it;- version 1014.003 - written in early 2002
It recognized both drives but it failed to boot giving the message 'NTLDR is
missing'
I then tried to boot to the recovery console in Windows Xp but it refused to
boot from the cd-rom giving the message 'no emulation system type!!!' -very
annoying!--
Can someone knowledgeable help me out. Is there a way to get the computer to
boot to the 2 drives without having to format then as there is quite allot
of data I don't want to loose. I really wasn't expecting this. I just
assumed that the system would still boot up as before, since I haven't
changed what's on the drives, only the motherboard/bios.
Thanks
