WinXP Pro SP2

Ghost 9 using the floppy disc it makes.

Had two installs of Windows one on a SATA drive, one on an ATA drive.
I could boot from eitther.

The ATA Windows drive got corrupted.

So I Ghosted the SATA partition to the ATA partiton with Windows in
each.

With the SATA unplugged. it would not boot to the ATA drive, it would
get to the starting Windows screen and no further.

But with both drives attached it would boot to either but would give
me an error of two sys files(one syshost) couldn't load or had a
problem. One time I could continue on, once in crashed.

Since both drives have a lot of data (some different on them), I would
like to be able to boot from both if needed.
