    Thinking about the booting issue some more:

    You probably can use the XP cd as a boot cd - I say probably because I don't have two C installations and outside of my experience.

    But, do not do any repairs - when it asks which installation to boot into, that's it, just boot into it.

    Regards - Charles

    Hmmm... having further trouble, now with installing XP at all. XP installs to the SATA drive seemingly with no trouble, but then on boot it tells me it's nor a valid boot device, or something similar. *sigh*
