I just purchased a new hard drive to complement an older, smaller
drive I have. I made the new drive a slave and installed Windows XP
on it from the CD. Now, both the old and new hard drives have
installations of Windows XP. When I boot up my system, I am asked to
choose which installation to use. Both installations are functional.
However, I wish to make the slave drive the master. When I unplugged
the old drive and made the new one the master, I got a "Disk Boot
Failure". I attempted to use the FixBoot and FixMBR commands in the
Recovery Console, but I am still getting the same error.
Why can't I boot XP from this disk when it is switched from a slave to
the master?
Thanks,
Bryan
