Alright lets see how accurately I can explain this.. I'm not very pro at this
I have an SATA drive and an IDE drive. When I first built this computer I had Windows XP Pro being booted off the SATA drive and the IDE drive was pure storage. Somewhere along the way my SATA drive crashed (couldn't boot from it anymore; BSODs before Windows Startup screen and Safe mode/recovery didn't work) so I installed Windows XP on my IDE drive to save my files and reformat the SATA drive.
Now I've installed XP Pro x64 on the SATA drive, but I can't boot through that hard disk anymore. The only way I can access x64 is by booting through the IDE drive and selecting x64 on the Dual Boot screen. Attempting to boot up through the SATA disk only gives me a black screen saying "Disk Boot Error, insert system disk and press enter" and doing so doesn't work.
Also now in Device manager when on x64 I have it telling me the SATA is a boot disk and the IDE is a system disk. I have no clue whats going on :3
Any ideas?
