After installing XP to boot from a SATA disk (C:) on a new build PC, I then
installed a parallell IDE drive into the PC, so as to transfer a large data
file (actually a Ghost image of the old PC as an emergency backup, in case
the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard had missed copying anything). The
parallell IDE was seen as the D: drive and I successfully transfered the
Ghost image file from D: to C:. Everthing worked fine, so far.
Then I removed the parallell IDE drive and the PC failed to boot from the
SATA disk. It even failed to boot again when I put the parallell IDE drive
back into the computer. Attempts to repair XP from the Windows CD failed.
Could anybody explain what happened? I had to reinstall XP on a newly
formatted disk, which was very time consuming. Would like to avoid the same
problem in the future.
