OK - notice the layout showed up in the follow on post to your message. In that
layout, the old hard drive should not be the boot drive. If he PC is booting using
the old hard drive, then there must be something wrong with software on the newer
drive, or the BIOS is set strangely.
To be sure newer drive is OK, disconnect old drive and boot. If that gets to Windows,
then try this. Make a boot floppy. Copy deltree.exe from C:\Windows\Command\ to
the floppy. Shut down and reconnect the old drive on second IDE cable. Boot from
the floppy. At the A: prompt, enter
deltree /y d:\windows
del d:\command.com
Shut down then boot without the floppy.
