Wanted to begin to transfer programs from 98SE to XP.
Bought new drive and loaded XP Prof. Swapped cables
around to insure both drives (98 & XP) could read other
drives. Bought Kingwin KF-23-IPF rack mount and extra
tray to swap drives. 98SE boots up and runs fine. XP
boots up to loading page (black with logo and small
rectangular area where 3 blue dots move to show loading)
and keeps loading but never starts. This goes on forever
so I gave it plenty of time. Swapped trays with same
results. Kingwin says should work, but does not. XP will
boot up and run with just cable attached so drive is OK
but will not run when installed in rack mount. Using a
SIIG ATA 133 card so I can have multiple storage drives
for access. Any ideas, suggestions, suspicions....? TIA
 
You can add /sos to the boot.ini file (after /fastdetect) to see the list of
loaded drivers instead of the default gui boot screen. This should tell you
which driver it started to load before it died.
