A few weeks ago I bought a new maxtor diamondmax 300GB Sata (to be used as my
new boot drive) and had some installation problems to which I later found out
was due to a compability issue with Nforce4 mobos. Before I knew this I
installed the HDD and tried using MaxBlast 4 to copy all the files from my
current boot drive. I kept getting random lock-ups and crashes while copying
files. Everytime I rebooted after that I would get prompted to choose which
O/S I wanted to load even though I only have one installed. Only one of the
selections would work properly, the other one giving me a file missing error.
I have since upgraded the HDD firmware and it is now working fine. However, I
just used MaxBlast 4 again and copied all files from my old boot drive to the
new one successfully and still get prompted to choose which O/S to load. How
can I fix this?
Go to Start | Run. Type in msconfig, click ok. On the boot.ini tab
click on Check all Boot paths. It should find the one that is invalid
and offer to delete it for you.
