Lotus 0 Posted March 30, 2006 Long sotry short, I installed XP Pro to my new sata drive (Raptor) while keeping my two 60 gig pata drives in the system. Windows installed by defalt to drive e:\ on the sata drive. My system seems to see the pata drives as primary and sata as secondary. Anyway, system has been running fine. I am going to sell my good friend some parts from my current system. Mainly the two pata hard drives. I took both drives out and upon starting my system, the SATA drive is now c:\ and my system won't boot. Can I use recovery console to change the letter of my boot drive back to e:\ so I can boot up again? I can't seem to find the answers I need on the web. I can always re-install everything from scratch again, but I rather not go that route. Any idea's? Share this post Link to post
Wilhelmus 1 Posted March 31, 2006 Try playing around with map,fixboot,fixmbr and bootcfg /rebuild. And copy nt boot loader files to 'new' c: copy CDROM:\i386\ntldr C:\ copy CDROM:\i386\ntdetect.com C:\ Or just perform repair installation. Share this post Link to post
