Boot Loader Problems

I was having hardware problems on one of my computers, but I needed to keep that particular install of Windows active so I put the drive in another computer. However, when it tries to boot I get an error saying that it can't load that device. I don't remember the exact error, but it was something like:
NTLDR: can't load IDE(0).Disk(0).Partition(0)
Something to that effect. (Sorry I can't be more specific right now, but that machine is currently doing something else.) I tried putting in my XP media and doing a repair, but that didn't fix it. Any ideas?
At the moment, I've put in a second drive and am installing XP on that. Once the machine is booting to that secondary drive, is there a way to change the boot loader to include a choice between the two installs? How would I do that (the Windows equivelent of editing /etc/lilo.conf, I guess)?
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
