setup:
Primary Master - 80gb HDD with 3 partitions NTFS - XP Pro installed on
the first partition (This was the first installation and is where I
figure the MBR was being stored for both OS)
Primary Slave - CD/DVD
Secondary Master - 120gb HDD with 3 partitions NTFS - Xp Pro installed
on the first partition (At the time, was being used as the primary OS)
Secondary Slave - Another HDD NTFS
And yes I can boot into the Recovery Console and it does detect the
installation of XP.
As for the error that I get when I try to boot to that installation:
"Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware
configuration problem.
Could not read from the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk
hardware.
Please check the windows documentation about hardware disk
configuration and your hardware reference manuals for additional
information."
