Thanks in advance,
My neighbor just got a new machine, please see specs below. The problem is, his old hard drive (we carried over from old pc) which is IDE is attached to the jmicrom PATA controller.
There is already an os installed on this IDE drive, and when we try to boot the computer, it loads everything just fine, detects the drive, and just before windows loads, it reboots.
So does XP (an already pre-existing installation) need a driver to boot off a jmicron PATA controller running in non-raid mode?
I'm thinking either XP needs a disk, which would entail a reinstall? Or repair? Or, boot.ini needs to be changed?
Once again thanks!
