I had to replace the Hard Dive in my XP machine. I removed the old drive

CD in the drive. I received the error no system disk, and would not boot.
Means it couldn't find the boot files.
The drive is marked as Master and the only drive in the system. I even
tried
both cable positions nothing helped. I can take the drive out and put in
another machine as a slave there are files there.
The pointer in the partition to the boot files is not correct or
non-existent.
Do not know what to try next.
Take the hard drive back to the other PC. Check the hard drive with the
hard drive manufacturers' software. A zero write will map out "bad" areas
of the hard drive. If too many, will recommend replacement. Hope the
warranty is good.
