I looked for an option to boot from an sata first in the bios, but there was none.
Plus I don't know how I'm supposed to copy the old files to the new HD if I deleted the old partition.
In the windows XP setup it says this:
Partition1 (d: ) 250 gb (new hd)
Unpartitioned space 8 mb
Unpartitioned space 80 gb (old hd)
So if my boot.ini was saved on the C: drive (which I deleted), how can I get it to boot from the D: drive which has a fresh windows xp install on it?
Edit: Okay I now see that in the windows setup it is recognizing the new drive as the C: drive. |
if you could have ask nicer, I could have walk you down the path. but since I don't make a bit of sense, you won't get any more help from me.
you would have been up and running yesterday if you had ask me what did I mean. I have a tendency to give short simple answers because my typing sucks. if somebody doesn't understand them I will give a better explanation. I know exactly why it's giving you the error. I had you bypassing this method for this reason.
