Can't boot XP from SSD

[AnttiH]

I installed xp from usb-stick. When I try to boot from SSD it says "Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem. Could not read from the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware.."

So, am I missing some driver or what's the deal? =)

It boots nicely from usb-stick.

It's possible your boot.ini is damaged. Double check it. It should be something like this:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

I tried to change boot.ini but now it doesn't boot from usb eiter If i boot from usb it says "hal.dll missing.." and from ssd same as before.

Hmm. I set another xp to stick and now it boots again. If I plug off stick while I'm in windows it won't let me change boot.ini and if stick is plugged there's:

[Boot Loader]
Timeout=10
Default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[Operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="2. GUI Mode Setup Windows XP, Continue Setup + Start XP" /FASTDETECT
C:\SETUPLDR.bs="1. TXT Mode Setup Windows XP, Never unplug USB-Drive until After Logon"

Is there anything I can do or should I juts re-install? Help me, please =)

What's your SSD drive letter under Windows (C or D)?

 

[AnttiH]

it's D

Could it help if I changed drive letter from D to C? I found a couple of instructions using google.. Anyone tried to change drive letters?

I think you should reinstall XP. Now, setup will show your fixed drive as C:

I reinstalled and now it boots from ssd like it should. Thanks for help =)
