I've just transplanted a new motherboard, processor and RAM into a friends pc... I've turned it on, and now the pc can't or won't see the C:\ drive and won't boot. I've run fixmbr to fix the master boot record, and fixboot, to fix the boot partition... but it insists that there is an error loading the operating system, and it says that there is nothing installed on the drive. I know this to be untrue, as I have been administering this pc for about 6 months... I've tried a recovery console repair, but it can't find anything to repair, the same with a repair install... actually, thinking about it, would the fact that I'm using a win2k cd to repair an xp install be a problem??? hmm... I really need a holiday... Jon
