Hard drive upgrade with XP Home

T

TVGypsy

Hi,

I recently upgraded the 80GB harddive that came with my
Sony RX650 desktop to a new Western Digital 160GB drive.
I copied everything on the old drive to the new one using
Drive Image 7.0. When I restarted the computer, I did not
disconnnect the old 80GB drive but mad it a slave to the
new one.
Now I have a problem with the computer starting by
loading some files from the C:\ drive and the Windows and
Windows32 system files from the H:\ drive. Is there a way
to redirect the startup path so the computer looks on the
C:\ drive for the Windows system files?

Do you have the option of a dual boot now? Or did the Imaged Drive( new
one ) place the boot files
on the old drive designated as C:? You maybe able to fix the situation
by using the Recovery Console
and working with bootcfg and Fixboot command. Take a look here to see how
it works.

Make sure you disconnect the
old drive before attempting a repair.
