My windows install is on the d: drive (80 gb seagate hard
drive). I also have a c: drive (17 gb seagate) installed
as extra hard drive space.
I want to remove the c: drive and replace it with a new
hard drive (180gb hitachi deskstar), but when I remove the
drive and try to boot up, Windows does not boot (with and
without the new 180gb drive). If I connect only the
windows partition hard drive d:, boot off a cd, and try to
repair, it takes me through an endless loop of "setting up
windows" and "reboot".
My original configuration is:
Primary master = 17gb
Primary slave = cd
Secondary master = 80gb
Secondary slave = cdrw
I'd like to be able to run windows with the 180gb extra
drive and have the option to remove it later and still be
able to boot into windows. But just getting windows to
bootup would be a nice first step.
