re: re-install of win xp Friday, July 31, 2009 at 8:34 pm Windows 7 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by mike patterson (30 messages posted) as an afterthought, i have two hard drives, c and f. if i make f the master and c the slave, when i booted would i get a blank screen that would allow installation of xp on the f drive (which would now be the c drive) or would the boot sequence just continue to the new f drive?
