Triple to Dual Boot Problem

Postby Schades » Fri Sep 07, 2012 11:45 am

I have a triple boot system (XP, Vista & Win7). Vista is on an ATA drive and the other OSs are on
SATA drives. The ATA drive is getting (SMART) bad so I need to replace it. When I disconnected the interface and power to the ATA, I checked to see if I could still boot up without it (Vista)-no luck. How do I boot up without the drive that Vista is on-Thanks

First let me appologize for taking so long to get back to you on this problem.

In what order did you install the OSes?

When you did the installs did you unplug any drives?

Can you post an image of your disk management screen, please
