XP System hates me :-(

by fireboss . Updated 16 years, 2 months ago

I have a Dell 8400 that I’ve upgraded and modified over the years. It has XP home on C (drive 0), XP Pro on drive E (drive 2) and a data drive D (drive 1). These are all sata drives. I started out today to remove C to put into another machine and let the system boot from E. MY brain and my research let me down as I couldn’t find a way to do that. After futilely fighting it I decided to just move the data from D to the NAS and remove it. The data moved fine but the system refuses to boot without drive D in place. It gives me a boot drive not found error no matter how I take it out. I know I’m missing something here and I’ll probably buy a drive so I can get the media machine up but I need to know ho to get the rest done or I’ll go crazy . . . .Bwaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha…:-P
