I'm trying to install xp home on my bros comp. he used to have win 2000 pro. I backed everything up and formatted the hard drive. (75 gig ntfs). This worked great. I pulled his hard drive out and put it in my comp (secondary) I then installed xp on it. This went fine, I was even able to boot all the way to xp. The problem comes in when I tried to move the hard drive back to his comp. I could not boot past the compaq screen. I got the error message
"couldn't open drive multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)"
"ntldr: Couldn't open drive multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)"
Here are the steps that I have tried
reformat once again
recopy D:\i386\ntldr c:\, D:\i386\ntdetect.com c:\
I even completely unpartitioned the hard drive, and gave it a new partition, attempting to start fresh.
The fixboot command and the fixmbr command.
As always any and all help is greatly appreciated.
