Getting NTLDR Error Now After installing XP and SP2 on Maxtor SATA/300

by bhalton . Updated 18 years, 10 months ago

Well, I thought I sloved the issue with the SATA drive and using it as a MAIN drives, but it failed. Last night I was able to boot Windows (After cleaning the baby finger prints off of disk) and I update XP to the max. Installed all my games, drivers, software, virus scan, emial account, etc, etc. Took it to work and installed my Jobs MS Office 2007 and u.torrent (didnt download any movies) and everything work well. Got home and I got the NTLDR error :heink:
Tried to repair the drive with Windows disk, but it brung me to black screen that told me to type Exit. And now I’ve Installed XP on the 160 Seagate HDD IDE drive on a old computer. I’m quite finished yet (currently installing SP2 as I type), but I’m worried if I will be able to retrieve my data files off the SATA drive once I plug the IDE back into the new computer. What is it that I’m installing thats corrupting my NTLDR files and not allowing Windows to boot.

Thinking that the ASUS M2N SLI Deluxe is the issue, but not really sure.

please help
