I have XP Pro installed on an 80GB SATA HD. I just bought a 160GB HD to
put
Vista Business on and I plan to dual boot it with XP. I used the Western
Digital Data Lifeguard software to partition the drive as a boot device
because I planned to install Vista on it. Now when I turn on my computer,
Windows loads but the login screen never comes up. If I put my 80GB drive
in
an external USB HD enclosure, can I get my documents and music off of it,
then reformat it and put XP back on it? I feel so stupid. Any help is
appreciated. Thanks!
