well, it was my first time formating a HD.
i have 2 HD. Before formating , i put the 20gb(winxp sp1) as master and my 120gb(full of virus) as a slave( cause i wanted to format the 120gb one, and let the 20gb be the master, but then, my father asked the 20gb, so i would only use the 120gb one ).
everything went right, now both HDs have winxp sp1, i always load windows of the 120gb(slave) and so on...
The problem is that i formated the 120gb when it was a slave...but
sometime after, my father asked me to give him the 20gb, i said it was ok cause i had the 120gb...but while trying to boot the 120gb as master, it keeps requesting a boot disk in drive A:/
someone said me that the 120gb wont be a master cause it was formated as a slave but i can do something to make it work as a master...but i dont know what to do...plz....1337 people out there, help me! thx in advance..
ps.: the 20gb is FAT32, 120gb was formatted using the NTFS system.
my computer is a P3 1ghz, 256ram, 20gb(no name) and 120gb(maxxtor ata133, 7k rpm, 8mb buffer)
