Booting WinXP on a Sata Drive

by tim.fry . Updated 17 years, 9 months ago

I have just changed a Sata drive from one cpm[uter to another. I formated the sata drive using the Windows XP CD, and installed XP on the Sata drive. now that all went well. but when i go to boot the computer will not boot from the sata drive, it says there is no boot device. i am not sure if have plugged it in right.

the mother board is a Gigabyte

MB: GA 8N SLI Royal
HD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 200Gb

Thanks in advance
