Change boot device with Windows XP
Hi,
I've a PC with 4 HDDs, 2 SATA (E & F) and 2 IDE C & D).
The system partition is the first SATA (Volume E:) and I like to remove the both IDE disks from the System.
After doing this I ever get an error about the missing NTLDR and I think the reason for this is that the system is now changed from E to C - but old school like fdisk /mbr seems to don't wor anymore ...
How can I remove the both IDE disks?
Thanks
Andre

Maybe somebody will read this one day it works with the way ClintSwiney suggest adding this behind:
copy d:\i386\ntldr c:\
copy d:\i386\ntdetect.com c:\
Where D is the CD Rom with the Windows CD.
Anything is fine, thanks for your support!

Boot priority is: HDD, CD-ROM
And the new C device has bios boot priority.
When I execute bootcfg /rebuild it scans for about 10 minutes and that reports error, either that the disks maybe damaged or out of memory ...
chkdsk doesn't report any problem and SMART also not.
Any more idea please?
