Off topic I realize, but I thought the expertise was here to answer.
I'm swapping out and upgrading the hard drive in my XP PC using Norton Ghost
on my Vista PC.
I disconnected the origins IDE XP disk and connected to Vista via a
USB/IDE controller.
I backed up the two partitions ("System" and "Files") on the disk to the
Vista PC with Ghost.
I disconnected the original IDE XP disk
I connected the new IDE XP disk to the Vista PC
I restored both partitions to the new disk (System is Primary and
active.)
Disconnected new IDE XP from Vista
Connected new IDE XP to XP PC
Boot attempt gives me "Missing NTLDR"
I know "Missing NTLDR" can mean several things, but considering what I'm
trying to do here specifically, why won't the second disk boot? Is it the
MBR? Do I go to the recovery console and try a fixmbr?
Thanks
