Recently my computer crashed; it was a registry failure. I copy/moved/deleted new reg. files onto my HD (via Microsoft instructions) this did not work. I wound up formating and re-installing; and this worked for about a day before my HD crashed again.
At this point I figured my drive was bad so I took it out and switched what was my slave drive to master in order to install windows on that. I format the new master drive and install XP on it. I try to boot up and it wont boot. My system wants to read the OS off of 'Primary drive 0' and I cannot get the drive not to show up as 'primary drive 1'. I tried to use cable select mode but that did nothing. anyone know what to do?
