I have an HP PC running Vista 32 bit OS with a 3 SATA Drives. The computer started acting funny and would not boot so I ended up putting of all things a 60GB IDE drive with Vista installed on the drive. So now the only way I get the PC to boot up correctly is to have this 60GB IDE drive set as the 1st drive in the boot sequence. I have tried formatting the other drives with fresh copies of Vista but for some unknown reason I can only get it to boot with this IDE drive. if I remove the IDE drive or move it down the boot sequence list then the system pops up with missing operating system error.
I found the EasyBCD program and followed the instructions but then my 60GB drive would not boot so I put the Vista CD and did a repair so at least I am back to where I started.
Any idea how to fix the missing operating system error on those other drives? is the partition missing, corrupted or is it something to do with the controller? I have no idea it's very frustrating and I am at my wits end. why can't I boot off those other drives?
