Boot XP problem -

[Bob Goodwin]

    I bought this computer with Windows XP installed. I removed the hard
    drive it came with and installed the hard drives from the computer
    it replaced. That went well except that the Win-XP on the "old"
    disks knew it had moved and refuses to boot. So this morning I
    thought I'll install the original drive as a third drive and change
    grub.conf to fit.

    That done Win XP will not boot, produces an error message:

            Error 12:    Invalid or unsupported executable format.

    I can mount the drive in F-14 and list the directory.

    I took my best guess at the grub designation for the drive:

            title Windows-XP-Pro
                 rootnoverify (hd1,0)
                 chainloader +1

            It had been:

            title Other
                 rootnoverify (hd0,0)
                 chainloader +1

    Fdisk shows the drive details as:

            [root at box9 bobg]# fdisk /dev/sdc

            Command (m for help): p

            Disk /dev/sdc: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes

            HPFS/NTFS

            Command (m for help):

    What am I doing wrong or is Windows refusing to boot because the
    drive is not where it wants it?

    Any thoughts/help appreciated.
