Hi
ive had a maxtor 80gb hdd as a backup drive for about 5 years now i booted up this afternoon to find an error message something allong the lines of unable to boot insert system disk press enter to restart
not having a system disk i browned my kecks and seeing as this coppy of xp came pre installed i just poped in the recovery disk and formated (was about due for one anyway) only to find that it still wouldnt boot after install
so
stripped it all out
new ide
only put back the master drive and it worked!! re did the dual boot
right ok so now ive got master hard drive partitiond 2 coppys of xp installed 1 to mess up lol
plugged in my backup drive and its not detected at all pc wont boot "unable to boot insert system disk press enter to restart"
any ideas would be most apreciated as this drive is full of unreplacable junk ty
