So basically I got in on the CC WD 250 gig HD deal on BF. (I just wanted to see how many acronyms I could throw in there) I have a system in a Sonata case...great little case, but horrible for future upgrades...which would be now.
I have 2 hard drives in there, one 100 and one 160...I took out the 160, thinking that it was the data drive, to copy over the data to the 250 and wipe the original. Long story short, put all the original pieces back into the case to figure out which HD was the operating HD and which was the data HD...now Windows won't boot. XP, SP1. Safe mode just takes me up to \system32\drivers\mup.sys and the screen doesn't go any farther.
Any idea on how to get into the recovery console to go back to my last restore point or just anything on what to do? A reformat wouldn't be horrible, but I still hate the possibility of losing data in the transfer.
*** latest edit *** I've resorted to installing on the 250...and the Windows CD gets to the part where the blue screen says "starting windows" or something like that (usually right before the first setup page), but then it never progresses from there!
