Hi, I bought some upgrades for my computer a while ago, and that
included a new sata hd. I already had a pata hd so i put it in as a
slave and proceeded to install windows on the new sata hd. Well I
cannot now remove the old pata slave drive or windows will not boot.
My windows folder is on the new sata drive, but files like ’ntldr’ are
not on this drive even though it is the one i boot from. I have tried
copying ’ntldr, boot.ini, and ntdetect.com’ to the new sata harddrive
and removing my pata slave drive and trying to boot. This did not
work. It would still not boot to the sata drive.
I dont know much about this, but i was thinking that my sata drive
doesnt have an MBR? any help would be great thanks
