Hi everybody,

I made a fresh system for some friends.
Formated the 40gb drive NTFS Logical (I:) and active (H:) all ok.
Installed Windows XP Pro on first partition on the designated H: drive  
label as I installed it on my running system (MSI-platform)
I formed the boot.ini as prescribed 0,0,0,1 blabla...
Then I attached it to the IDE0 and set it as master and it boots and runs  
smoothly.
The software needed for them was installed and a fresh restart was perfect  
!

Now the tricky part ;
I put it in the Compaq system 5028BE with latest BIOS flashed 128 mb ram  
on a UWAVE 786K1-platform in the IDE0 as master.
Set up the rigt bootorder in BIOS and restarted. It detects the disk in  
the IDE but doesn't start up the OS...
'error loading operating system'

Very strange error keeping in mind that on another platform with the same  
settings it runs smoothly...

Help is on the way ?

ps: Don't try to convince me not buying Compaq syss because I'll never  
will  ;-)
