A friend of mine tried to install and extra 60G Western Digital drive in his XP machine. Bios can handle it etc, no problem.
Instead of letting xp do it for him he decided to load a EZ-boot util from Western Digital. He booted with the floppy that installed itself in the boot sectors (I guess) and XP is very unhappy.
It looks at c: and see's the NTFS partition and expects a FAT32 instead. It then demands to boot from floppy. There doesn't appear to be a way to uninstall this util.
The machine will boot if I set the bios to boot from cd with the XP cd in. But this is a hassle.
Question: Is there a simple way to restore the boot sectors?
I was very confused trying the xp emergency console.
Do I have to re-install XP again?
Thanks in advance.
