| ok, i have a sata hard drive and an ide hard drive. the ide hard drive has vista on it and the sata is for general storage. i partitioned off 10gb on my sata drive for xp and then installed it to that partition. now all hell has broken loose, i cannot boot into any of the operating systems, it gives me no option for any boot modes or the boot loader and just says 'disk read error, press ctrl + alt + del'!!!!! please help me i CANT lose the data on the drives! |
