I was installing win xp pro on an older HP Pavilion xe743, 667mhz celeron, 20gbHD, nothing special, origanilly had win98. i also have another similar pavilion system, close to the same specs.
no on to what I did, I fully installed xp pro on the one, the other I had to replace the hard drive, after doing so it would not load from the cd rom. so I tried the first system hard drive (the one that loaded sucessfully) and switched it to the one I was working on. Well i used the working system and tried loading xp pro on the other hard drive. now I have one computer, and a 2 hard drive boot system, did I forget to mention one hard drive is fat32 the other is ntfs, Both are needed for the computer to boot,or it will not boot. does anyone know how or what I did?
