I've solved this, but as nobody was interested, I doubt they'll be interested in my solution either.Hi,
Sorry if you've answered this already but there are so many pages to read through I might have missed it.
I have four drives, C, D, E and K. Windows 7 Home installed on C.
I decided to install XP SP2 on the D drive, and so put the CD in and started it off, leaving the drive as it was (no format). It copied files, then tries to restart to complete install, but then runs into problems.
If I boot from CD - it tries to start the XP install from scratch.
If I boot from C drive - it says "Error loading operating system" (not looking good for using Windows 7 until this is fixed!)
If I switch boot order and make D drive first in list - it says NTLDR missing.
Any ideas what might be wrong here? Looks like the XP install failed to put a boot sector on my D drive in my amateur opinion...
Thanks in advance
Tara
