Trouble Booting from Specific Hard Drive, Pleas help!

Posted: 05-04-2004, 01:47 AM
Hi, my name is Dustin and I am having trouble booting
my computer on a new Oporating System I just installed.
Ok, so i installed Microsoft Windows XP Home Eddition on
a new hard drive. How i did this? Well i was currently
using a hard drive that had Windows XP on it already, The
Hard Drive's name was ST368118. So i installed Windows XP
Hope Eddition onto a Secondary Slave that i had attatched
to my computer, This Hard Drive's name was called Maxtor
6Y080P0. So i installed Windows XP Home Eddition onto the
Maxtor 6Y080P0 Hard Drive. Now I have a problem. In order
to Boot up Windows XP that is installed on my Maxtor
6Y080P0 hard drive, I have to have the ST368118 Hard
Drive set as the Master Hard Drive, and the Maxtor
6Y080P0 Hard Drive set as the Secondary Hard Drive.

When i read two Hard Drive's Volume information, I saw
that they both were labled as Master Boot Record (MBR).
Example, this is how it showed it,

Partition Style: Master Boot Record (MBR).
Thats what they were labled as.

Is there any way i can correct this?
Somebody Please help me!
