ok baisically, i've managed to take out the laptop hdd, and connect it to my main PC using a converter cable.
the PC detects this at startup and in the BIOS, but it won't boot windows (it keeps looping at the "loading XP" screen.
If i take out the laptop hdd it boots fine. I'm thinking if i can get this to work, i will be able to copy the install files and then load an OS onto it from the laptop..
but any ideas how to get my PC to boot with it attached? thanks!
