my roommate had some weird stuff going on with his computer, so he had to reformat. i hooked up his disk to my computer and immediately after i reboot, i get "disk boot failure". i figured i had just forgotten to set the jumper on the new drive, but that wasn't the problem. i ended up having to use the win xp recovery console and use the "fixboot" command. so after removing this new drive, i recently restart and i get the same thing: "disk boot failure". this happens each time i restart my computer and each time i must use the win xp recovery console in order to boot. why don't the boot settings persist? i really don't know what's going on. does this have something to do with the fact that i have 2 sata drives? i'm stumped.
thanks
