It is impossible for two instances of XP to attempt to boot a PC.
You probably need to go into BIOS setup and change the boot order of the
hard drives to boot from the one with the fresh install on it. Some BIOS's
will change the primary boot hard drive if a new drive is connected.

I have two hard drives. I was using one for storage and the other to run
WindowsXP. I received a "blue screen" error on the Windows drive and was
unable to reboot without the error re-appearing.
I then disconnected that drive and installed windows on the other drive
with the intention of recovering files off the first. This is where my
issue begins. When I hook up 4-pin cord as well as the 20/24-pin cord the
pc reboots and I get the blue screen error.
I thought that I would be able to hook up the old drive and access files
as if the drive was storage.
Is there a way I can access this drive as if it were storage? What may be
causing the error? Are two instances of Windows XP trying to run on
reboot?
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks, Bob
