Hello. I'll first highlight the situation. I had a system with 2 drives, IBM
and Maxtor. I have decided to replace the first one (ide primary master) with
a serial ata one. I have installed the disk, managed to config Linux to boot
off it and now I came to the hardest part,
My PC was booting off the disk (actually, off its primary partiton, drive C)
I am going to replace. Ithe windows itself is stored on the other drive, IBM
disk contained just the ntldr, boot.ini and friends. My question is, will it
be possible to recreate these files on the new disk without a clean install?
With the help of fixboot and fixmbr?
ANd the second thing. As Maxtor disk can no longer be a slave, how will that
impact the existing windows install? shall I expect drive letters mess?
Thank you for the response in advance.
