REQ: My XP no longer will boot up!

I am running WXP PRO.

I did a re-install to try to fix a re-curring problem. The re-install
gave me the option of restoring - which I chose in order not to lose
the current contents. The re-install ran flawlessly. Now the drive
will not boot.

I temporarily mounted it as a secondary drive with a spare I had as
the boot drive that contained a skeleton XP installed, and found that
all the content of the re-installed drive seems intact and complete.
Therefore I have not lost anything, at least as yet.

Is there a trick I can use to render the re-installed drive bootable?
I really want to get back to where I was.

Thanks

Geezer

Check youre settings in the BIOS for boot drive priority.Also chk youre jumper
pins on the drives,you can/could boot to xp cd,recovery,type:CHKDSK C: /R
