ErraticMBR
LockedI’m having a priblem bootong up consistently on a Win XP machine. I suspect the problem is with the boot sector.
The hard disk in question was a replacement for a smaller one. It was replaced several months ago. Therefore, there are more and newer files on it.
Currently, I have the old hard disk set up as the master and the newer hard disk as the slave. The old one boots up without a problem and the newer one comes up without a problem.
My question is can I just copy the MBR off of the older HD to the newer? Would I also have to do something with the registry?
Or does it make more sense to copy the newer files from the new to the old? Would I also have to copy over the registry. I’d have to be careful not to copy the MBR though.
