you can
the setup
c drive ide 80 gb
e and f drive are sata drive partions
client had issues with minor that was admin on machine (bad move)
anyway I was called in to fix this
the sub told me there was nothing on c drive windows reads system and it was empty
It looked empty
sata is 300gb drive
e partion at 120 f partion 120 machine not setup for 137 or 42bit limit (kids)
the boot up was messed up showed 3 xp boots 2 did not work
I reformatted c drive and it said there was 20gbs of data on drive fromatted anyway
after that the sytem of was gone
I had moved a boot.ini and other files over to e drive and setup to boot from this drive
would not boot
I had to load os back on c drive and make a boot.ini to boot again from e
with the boot bios being c first
I now had ownership of drives
is there a way to safely add mbr and or what are the right files that I need to boot first off of the sata drive
then I can remove the c drive saving all info on e drive
