I recently put a hard drive on my computer as a slave and formatted and installed xp pro on it, It runs fine on this comp but when you put the hard drive back in the other comp with the OS on it you get a message saying please rmove sisks or other media, when there isn't any in there. There was amessage posted on this a while ago, but nobody responded. I'd appreciate any help i can get.
