I have a HD that I removed from an XP machine. I removed the HD after an attempted SP3 update totally screwed up my machine (Thank you, Microsoft; I've finally learned the lesson I should have learned long ago about trusting M$FT updates.)
I think I could resurrect this drive *if* I could install it in a bootable machine. If I could do that, I could then examine it and perhaps fix what's wrong.
But it was a C: drive, and clearly, XP has to be able to recognize this as something other than a C: drive. I figure I'll need some software to do this, and also, I have to be able to connect it to be recognized as "hard drive other than the boot drive".
Anyone have any experience at this, or any ideas?
