Hi all,
I have recently bought a 120gb Maxtor HD. I connected it as a slave then ran it with a 40gb HD as primary.
Everything was fine, I then partioned it with partion magic 7, and installed a full version of XP pro on it, no probs.
What I then wanted to do was operate it as a primary HD, with an 80gb slave (that I have a lot of information still on), this is where my probs have started.
When trying to boot up I get "Missing NTLDR" and cannot boot any further, after reading some threads I think it's because my bios won't recognize a large drive. I have tried looking through bios to find a setting change for large drives but cannot find anything.
Can anyone out there help me, I think I may need to update my bios somehow but this is where I am completly lost, I don't now where to start or even find out what motherboard I have.
Cheers for any advice
I have a P4 1.5 ghz processor.
