sounds pretty complicated.

i think that if you get something stabilized on your
pc, you'll be happier. I suggest the following to
bring you up and running. Afterwards, I think
you can handle the rest.

First disconnect everything from your
pc except for keyboard, mouse and video.

Secondly, get inside your pc and
see if you have any special boards installed
like usb, video etc. If so, remove them
temporarily.

Thirdly, while inside your pc check
your harddrive configurations. If
you have a slave drive, then the jumpers
on the back must be set in slave set.
Some people try to connect a slave drive
as the master and creates conflict.

Be sure that the master drive jumpers
are configured as master as well.

Since you have a couple of harddrives
you need to decide which one will
be the main one. Then only connect
that drive for right now to the
ribbon cable. I suggest that you temporarily use
only one harddrive at this time so
that you can get a functinal o.s. running.
Later, you can connect the other equipment.

When you boot, get into your cmos/bios
and make sure that harddrive is being
recognized. Afterwards see
if you can boot normally to the o.s.

If not, then reboot with the cd
and do a repair install. Afterwards see
if you can boot normally to the o.s.

If not, then reboot with the cd
and do a clean install. Afterwards see
if you can boot normally to the o.s.

If not, then you may go back inside
and hook up the other harddrive as
the master. Remember to use
only one hd at this time.

Then start over with the steps near the
beginning that we used for the other hd.

Let us know what are your results...

Ok Im not to happy at the moment... randomly now windows xp mediacenter
will
not start up for any apparent reason i think the registry is currupted. I
did
that thing in the repair area were u kinda redo the reg that DID work
because
it just forze up after the 2nd bar now it goes though that but its just
BSOD
no sounds nothing. >: (
THis is the second install of this on a diff hdd the first install is down
here diff hdd

Personaly im not happy w/ windows because I was parnoid about havn no
workn
OS's so i bought windows media center and put it on my other hdd and when
i
tryed installed Vista it said tthere was an error and currupted 75% of all
my
data on all my hdds to me arround a month to fix the non windows part but
now
both my OS's are currupt.. so i got a old hdd and put media center on that
cuz i can still access all the datta off it... now that 1 is currupt.

And then on my other comp.... yeah... illl talk about this later when i
get
this fixed because its thoughn out the wiredest error i secrously thing
windows kinda imploded on it self there.

But my main concern is The first paragraph.
then the second after i get the first 1 up and .

Oh and in the second the master boot records are gone so it dsnt know it
has
a OS on it ether.... lol i think everything else is there becaus it just
had
a curruuppted OS registry b4
