Hey everyone...I broke it =(
I was following a dual booting guide, and once I got xp installed on the second drive, whenever it tried to boot I get the error failed loading operating system. Well, now that I have formatted the xp harddrive, I still get the error, and am still unable to get into vista. Before that I went onto the startup repair on the vista dvd, and it could not find any errors. I checked the log and it said it loaded into the operating system fine. I really don't want to format the drive, so does anyone have any idea what I could do? I don't have any system restore points through the vista dvd.
I'm not sure what the state of the vista install is in at the moment, but I've installed xp alone on the second harddrive and am running that for now until I can figure out what to do. I can access the vista harddrive and take any files off of it I want. Is there anything I can do on the HDD to fix it?
Thanks guys!
