Error Loading Operating System Xp Fix
Error Loading Operating System -XP ByFuzzylogik Jan 30, 2006 Howdy all. I was hoping someone -- ANYONE -- could help me with what has become the bane of my existence! Long story short, my first SATA drive, a Maxtor error loading operating system xp install 6B250S0 died a few months after I got it, and was covered under warranty. Upon receiving the new drive, I wanted to GHOST (v10) the old EIDE ATA Drive onto the new SATA drive. The operation succeeded except I could not make the new SATA drive the system drive. I eventually gave up and decided to rebuild the system. I mention this only because I was able to successfully move all the contents of the old drive onto error loading operating system xp solution the new one (and I could access and manipulate the files, I just couldn't boot from the disk) -- the consistent problem was that after navigating the BIOS on boot up, I would receive "Error loading Operating System" when the OS should have taken over. Now to my existing problem. Actually, the same problem. I have killed the existing partition and low-level reformatted the drive. After copying all of the XP files onto the hard drive, I'm getting the same error -- "Error loading operating system". Here is what I have tried in no particular order: 1. Fixboot 2. FixMBR 3. Tried using Maxtors MAXBLAST to establish the a full 250 GB partition (running original XP disks; not SP1 or SP2) 4. Tried utilizing standard 137 GB partition via XP 5. Removed all EIDE cables except those utilized for CD-ROM/DVD access 6. Diag'ed the disk using Maxtor's Powermax (it's fine according to the diag) I'm tapped. No matter what I've tried, it does not appear to want to be anything other than a slave drive, EVEN THOUGH THE BIOS LISTS IT AS A MASTER DISK (and it is installed on SATA 1 on the MB; ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe). It currently is the ONLY HD that is installed on this computer. The kicker to all of this is that the original SATA HD that eventually failed never gave me any of the

Perhaps you should consider a new PSU, http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/281533-30-error-loading-operating-system or at least testing it (follow link in my signature for ways to test PSU). You should also note that XP doesn't support SATA, natively; you'll have to install "other drivers" before the install, by pressing F6 (when you get past the formatting part, of course). Another way to format the HDD is to connect it to another computer (as a slave, if using IDE) and format from Windows. If you're using a SATA HDD, just make sure that you instruct the BIOS to load the HDD with the OS first. m 0 l Related resources pleaaase help!

we highly recommend that you visit our Guide for New Members. Solved: Cloned XP Pro drive will not boot Discussion in 'Windows XP' started by don_1953, Jan 8, 2010. Thread Status: Not open for further replies. Advertisement don_1953 Thread Starter Joined: Dec 8, 2006 Messages: 75 I have an old Dell Optiplex GX280, with a single SATA connection capability, no chance to add a second drive. My original hard drive is 40Gig I want to clone it to a 320Gig drive, but can't do it inside the original computer. I thought I'd try bringing my old 40gig and 320 gig drives to work, then use a machine with 4 sata connections to hook up my two drive and clone them that way, but after using Max to clone the 40 over the 320, and putting it back in the GX280, I get "Error Loading Operating System" from the 320 drive. I suspect the clone process did not make the 320 drive bootable, is there any way to fix that after the fact? I did boot the machine with the 320G drive using a Windows XP installation CD to get the repair module, so I can see the data, but it won't boot. I'm running Windows XP Professional Service pak 3 I'd be grateful for any help don_1953, Jan 8, 2010 #1 Sponsor Elvandil Joined: Aug 1, 2003 Messages: 51,988 How did you clone? What software?

I wish the GX280 had 2 SATA connections, if so, this would have been easy. I had to hook both the drive I wanted to clone, and the new drive I was cloning to in a third computer that had multiple Sata connectors on the Motherboard I just tried making a bootable CD using the MaxBLAST 5 Media builder and boot to the GX280 with the bootable CD, but that brings up an error "To use the product, you must have one Seagate or Maxtor Device on your system.
