Hi guys,
I was running Vista64 off C:/and added a second hard drive at E:/ in Vista (my DVD drive is D:/) that all went well, but during the XP install. XP failed to recognise the DVD drive and called the second hard-drive D:/, and when I'm in XP the DVD drive is E:/.
The system boots into XP ok, although I think there's some motherboard/BIOS problem as my internet ports don't work and XP is not recognising I have sound devices (both on-board).
EasyBCD only shows a C:/ and D:/ drive when I try and add an entry to the bootloader - I haven't tried using D:/ to see what happens, because in Vista the second hard-drive is called E:/ and I don't want to screw the computer up anymore than it is.
Tried to do a repair off the Vista DVD, but got a Blue-screen STOP error, which I think may be due to drive name conflicts.
If anyone has any ideas, I would be so grateful for any help.
Cheers
Addendum:
OK, the Vista DVD recovery worked finally and repaired the Vista bootloader, so I'm now in Vista.
EasyBCD on Vista lists the drives as C:/ and E:/
Can I have some advice on how to proceed? I don't want to mess up things any more than they are...
thankyou
