Hi.

I decided to add a new HDD on my machine. It's an 120G MAxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 HDD. When I installed it, MaxBlast (the default win installer for this HDD) is asking me if I want to make one of the partitions bootable and also to copy the data on it (from the first partition of the 1st drive). I responded "ok". When I let the second HDD (120G) to boot, it does, but Windows XP Home Stucks with a windows logo and the startup screen (the blue one, after the black one). I managed to pass this and enter Windows. No program of those i had installed is running because the drive letter is H and E. I changed the second letter to D but cannot change the boot partition letter. It says it's boot. What am I supposed to do in this situation? (Any other program wich is doing this "partition copy" thing?)

Thank you so much!
