G'day,
Before I get into my problem I just want to let you know that I have looked around the web, done a few google searches to find a solution to my problem. I've found a few solutions I want to try but before I do that I just want to run things by you guys, becuase my problem has a little twist to it, which I havn't read about elsewhere.

I used to run XP with two hard drives installed. The primary drive was running FAT32 with XP installed on it. The other was NTFS with data on it. Since then, I've purchased a new primary drive and had to reinstall XP. Once again I went with FAT32 for the main drive. Now, I've introduced my NTFS drive back into the setup, and during boot it displays the annoying "NTLDR error, blah blah, Ctrl+Alt+Del to Reboot". When I remove the NTFS drive from the setup my system boots normally. So, my question is, how do I get my current XP to let me boot with this NTFS drive without getting the NTLDR error?
Cheers, Victor.

Does your primary drive have a jumper setting > master with slave ?
