Hello all,

Finally I found a forum where I can ask for help. Well let me start that I had win xp and win 2k working successfully on two 20 GB harddisks. Win XP was installed on C: and Win 2K on D:. Recently I bought a 160 GB harddisk, so I wanted to replace C: hard disk. Then as instructed by Maxtor, I begin formatting and partition the new hard disk. (I still had my D: that is the hardisk with win 2k still plugged, I had replaced the old win Xp disk). Now I encountered some NTLDR missing and finally with Dells support, I finished installing the win xp. On geeting into my computer, I had the following in front of me:
the old D: drive was now C:
my CD rom was now d:
and there was only one more hard drive - the new one E:
and the other 2 partitions were missing. I dont know how to retrieve them.

I thought maybe I can retrieve it once I reboot.

There was another surprise for me.....It no longer gave me the option to dual boot. That means it was default win xp.

PLEASE HELP ME.

Thanks
