-=PCTechTalk=- Re: NTLDR missing - HELP

Rose,
    I already know his main Primary Master drive is not working.  When this 
2nd drive is made external, what OS is on the now-installed Primary drive? 
Older operating systems may have limitations on the size of the drives it 
can recognize and I'm wondering if you may be hitting that wall.

Peace,
GMan
