Hello Everyone,
Background:I recently upgraded to a larger hard drive (500GB) had to get a controller card since my mobo didn’t recognize it. Started out with a 50GB with 120GB slave. Did a Norton Ghost over of everything.
Problem:
When I try to boot to just the new hard drive now I get a log-on window loop (Put in the password and flips me back to the same log-on window). When I put the old master as the slave it boots o.k. but I think it’s booting to the old hard drive even though I have them set to cable select and have the new one (500GB) as the boot up hard drive.
When I tried to go back to the original configuration (old 50GB with the 120GB as slave) I now get error message “Disk boot failure, insert system disk & press enter” which I do but after inserting the Window XP disk the curser just blinks at me. No response. Any ideas??
Specs: Windows XP Home Edition
Hard drives connected to IDE #1 on hard drive controller
BIOS Boot sequence: CD Drive/Hard drive 0/Hard drive 1/other device
