I recently bought a new hard drive. I have WinXP on my old hard drive
and commenced to install WinXP on my new hard drive using the WinXP on
my old hard drive, i.e. i formatted new drive and opened install disks
through old WinXP. I eventually want to use my new hard drive as the
boot drive; however the WinXP install was done as a secondary system.
The new drive contains no system volume that contains the files
necessary for booting. Firstly, how do I get a system volume onto the
new drive without reloading WinXP? Secondly, can I have two drives
each with WinXP on them and each with the boot files on them? Thanks.
