First time this has happened to me so I dont know what to do. My problem is as follows:
I have 2 hard drives in 1 computer. 1 is running Vista, the other is running XP. Well I went to reformat the XP one, that went fine, when I went to switch to the vista one, it just kept going to XP. So i unplugged the XP HDD, and it gave me the following error:

"Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem.

Could not read from the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware.

Please check the Windows documentation about hardware disk configuration and your hardware reference manuals for additional information. "

When I unplugged that drive and just had the XP drive in it gave me this error:

"NTLDR is missing

Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart"

When I have both drives plugged in XP starts up just fine, and all my files are still there for XP and Vista drives, but it seems I lost my Vista OS somehow.

Any Fixes or ideas without having to reformat both of them again?

Thanks in advance!

Hello yodathegreen,

It sounds like something went wrong when you swapped out one of the hard disks.
What order did you install the 2 os's?
When you look on the partition of the vista install, do you still see the "Windows" folder?
