Re: windows will not boot after fiting new hdd

1. Did you only format the disk through XP, or are you saying that you actually installed XP on the disk?

2. Check your cabling connections and the Master/Slave jumper settings on the drives again.

3. Remove the new drive. Does the system boot properly then?
