Looking back with hindsight, I was proable vey stupid, but heres the problem.
I installed Vista- full format of both drives, working splendid. The only problem was that my printer was not working. I spent hours trying to get drivers and nothing worked- HP were not supporting the printer any more and the phone helpline spent hrs on the phone with absolutely no luck. Now it was late, I was exhausted, angry and hungry, and my brother needed to print off schoolwork for the next day.
So in my sleepy state, i stuck the XP disk in, rebooted and tried to install it on the second drive. About half way through, the install stalled, and my mind kinda woke up abit and i knew i had done a big dudu!
I tried to cancel out- no luck.
I tried to restart, and it would not. I would get the initial boot screen- checking master and slave drives- then it would freeze. Ive tried disconnecting the drives- one then the other, and i cant even get to the ‘boot from cd’ screen to allow me to format the second hdd and possibly save myself.
Q: am I F-d? Is there any hope?
