Finally got a new system, made my buy, no problem with Vista [ Hitachi HDP725
SCSI 160GB HD ], (new drive). Added Maxtor 'OneTouch' USB 500GB external HD
for backup. I attached my Samsung SP1203N 120GB HD using a UDMA connection
cable to the primary IDE connection on the system board. The OS is WinXP Pro
SP2
When I rebooted I went to the BIOS to see the drive was recognized, and it
showed an accurate approximation of used and available space. Exited BIOS,
restarted, and came up to the "start option" for improper OS shut down /
start correctly. Restarted, and the WinXP Pro SP2 I have on the drive will
not start up.
I'm not getting a 'blue' screen. When I connect the 'old' drive with the
'new' drive up and running the Vista, my 'old' drive isn't detected. Back in
BIOS I noticed that my 'old' drive is either in the HD 1 or 2 slot and the
'new' drive is ALWAYS listed in the 3 slot. In short ... if I connect the old
drive and restart the old drive comes up first, and the OS won't start. If I
try to connect the old drive while running, detecting or adding hardware
doesnt work and the drive will not show in "my computer".
Is there a way for me to get around this problem without trying to repair /
recover the XP on the old drive and save the data? I believe a repair or
recover could ruin critical information.

Your old winxp drive is never going to boot up on your new PC - different
hardware -
Connect the old drive as slave then copy the data from it to your new Vists
drive

This is strictly a BIOS problem and not related to the OS. As such,
the question is out of place here.
Ask elsewhere

your and idiot and do not deserve the MVP initials.
Derek have you changed the jumpers to designate the old drive as slave?

I see the newsgroup troll caught you. That isn't Ken Blake to whom you
responded but rather a mentally ill person who has lately decided to
impersonate Ken. The headers are clear and you've been posting in these
groups long enough to know that Ken would never respond to an OP like that.
