dual boot no longer working after installing new hdd

[starbuck]

I have just bought a crucial 64gb SSD to use as my main win7 drive. I also 2 other 500gb drives, 1 prev had win7 on it and the other has XP. I had it setup so I would get the boot screen asking if I wanted to boot into XP or win7 (using microsoft's default dual boot).

When I installed the SSD, it would just boot directly to win7. Then realised I needed to set my XP drive back to 1st drive. I then get the dual boot screen, but when I choose win7 from there, I get a message asking me to insert correct boot device. If I select the SSD as the 1st drive, it boots win7 fine.

I did move the sata cables about (put them in diff ports in the MB) when putting the drive in, and I disconnected the original win7 drive (I accidentally snapped the sata cable).

Any ideas how I can get dual boot working again? Would the XP drive have to be in an lower numbered sata port on the MB, or does it just have to be selected as the boot drive?

The drive with your bootloader on needs to be the first choice, and your bootloader may need repairing to get it to point to the Win7 install in the correct place. Set your first hard disk to be the disk with the bootloader on, then boot from your Win7 DVD and do a startup repair, this should sort your booting problems out.
