prob for the nerds
SCENARIO:
i have xp on a 20g partition (C) and data on a 270g partition (D) [ disc 0 ]
i introduce a 40g drive and install win 7 [ disc 1 ] with disc 0 disconnected
when i turn on it boots into win7 no prob
if i then connect disc 0 . . it reports bootmgr missing ?????
if i disconnect disc 0 it boots normally
if i format partition (C)[ disc 0 ] it reports 'bootmgr missing ?????'
if i delete the partition (C)[ disc 0 ] it boots into win7 no prob
the issue is sorted but why this behaviour
