hi all,
just installed a new cpu, motherboard & ram into one of my PC's so I took the old components out and stuck them in another box.
The new one was an XP box, the one with the old components a 2k box. I made sure both hard drives were set to primary master however both boxes blue screened during boot displaying the message "inaccessible boot device"?
anyway i formatted them both now so its not a problem I was just wondering for future reference how to get around this/what not to do in future?
