A fully functional dual-boot FC6/Windoze XP system had its MB replaced.
On being returned (and the disk reinstalled) it booted FC6 just fine,
but XP could not find the disk. Not that it just would not boot, but
that under no circumstances (CD boot, ASR boot, normal boot) could XP
find the disk. The disk partitions are: 1 - NTSF, 2 - /boot, 3 - /.
Any suggestions as to what might be missing? FWIW, the disk is SATA,
and, yes, the driver disk was provided at the appropriate time.
Did you try all the different SATA controllers?
Did you carefully go through all the BIOS settings?
BIOS settings seems the place to look. Some have a SATA emulate IDE
mode, that might need to be flipped. Or it could be PlugNPlay os
installed. Just try one at a time.
