Weird. My laptop's sole hd is partitioned into a C: and D: drive. C:\ is bootable with xp pro. However, ntdetect is on the D: drive. Everything works fine, but it would sure make more sense for ntdetect to be on C:\. I tried moving it, but get ntdetect failure on boot. Any suggestions?

often with companies like HP/Dell that preinstall the operating system, they have a recovery drive D:\ so that the non techsavy Joe/Joesphine Consumer can pop in the recovery disk and fix their computer.
