I had two IDE hard drives on my computer. One had 20 GB, Win98 installed on it as the operating system, and was operating as master. The other has 120 gb, had windows xp installed and was set as slave. Every time I had to boot up the computer, I had to select one of the two operating systems: XP or win98. Now I want to get rid of the 20 gb HDD. So I bought a SATA one. I thought the only things I had to do was to set the 120 gb IDE as Master (the one with XP installed) and connect the SATA hdd. But now everytime I boot (although it detects my 120 gb hard drive as primary master) I am given the following message: missing operating system. I would very much appreciate any help.
