hiya guys, ive come across this problem and i really dont
know what to do about it
I got windows xp installed, and a few weeks ago, i put in
another hard disk (maxtor sumthing sumthing), now the
problem is, when the maxtor disk is recognized by the BIOS
(it doesnt always... :s ), my windows wont boot, it will
stop dead right after the splash screen...
Has anybody seen this before?
