Windows XP on Two Drives

Oct 15, 2004 7:21AM PDT

I have had Windows XP installed on my HDDO on three partitions, altered the BOOT.INI file and had a choice of multiple operating systems without a problem. I have now reformatted HDDO to one partition and installed a new HDD1. So far no problem. But when I put XP Home on HDD1 and tried to reconfigure BOOT.INI as before, nothing works, unless I disconnect 1 drive. Can I try Spanned Disk option, but if so how as I can't get them both working together?
