OK, I really don't have a pirated windows software. No one responded to my original question so thought I would try again with a new title, with hopes that Microsoft could get involved and help out if nobody else can. Here's the original problem

I have my computer setup for dual boot; Windows-ME on the C: drive (FAT32) and Windows-XP (NTFS) on the D: drive. I decided to upgrade my 60GB C: drive to a 120GB drive. I copied the files over to the new drive, rebooted my computer and it bypassed the boot selection screen and went straight into Windows-ME. I put the original drive in and everything is back to normal; meaning I now have a choice of which window OS I want to boot off of. How can I fix the new 120GB C: drive to recognize dual boot capability
 
Ed, the boot loader is on the 60GB drive. What you could do is use the
Recovery Console to repair the Bootloader.
Remove the 60GB drive first. Check here on how to proceed. You will be
primarily interested in Bootcfg, Fix Boot and
Fix MBR. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];Q314058

I will try that over the weekend, hope it works. I looked at my original message with the proper title and still no one responded with help. I guess my bogus message title worked after all. Thanks for your input..............Ed.
