getting errors eg insert boot disk so instead of messing
around i went forth and istalled a fresh copy of xp onto a
different hard drive, thinking ill copy all work from
other drive then format it and install winxp
again....anyways both drives are giving me errors know
they are..
1:NTLDR MISSING....... what do i need to do here?
2:RE-INSTALL a copy of <windows root>\system32
\hal.dll.......... what do i need to do here?
3: insert boot disk and press enter......... what do i
need to do here?
4:the weirdest of all......... windows could not start
because of a computer disk hardware configuration
problem.Could not read from the selected boot disk .Check
boot path and disk hardware .Please check the windows
documentation about hard disk configuration and hard
reference manuals for additional info...... i dont have

Boot into the BIOS and change the boot order, if that is done, run fdisk to
be sure the proper drive is set to active.
