Just loaded XP Everything sets up and goes well untill I switch off and then
power up the next day...........
It shows the BIOS boot screen then at the bottom of the screen it says
'searching for boot record from IO' then goes to a black screen, and will go
no further..!!!!
Will work if I reload XP again but not on XP repair mode.
Any thoughts .....................
Thanks
 
Thanks Delwin
But I've tried fixmbr and fixboot, then repartitioned and reformatted it
still refuses to boot from the hard drive.

Have now fitted an older drive and that sets up and boots from ....no
problem.

Then fitted 'new drive' as a slave and it reads and writes data, but refuses
to be master and bootable..!!!
Regards
