    hi all just got an icybox internal sata hd caddy so put the hd in it with xp pro running on it,and this message appears

    WINDOWS COULD NOT START BECAAUSE OF A HARDWARE CONFIG PROBLEM
    COULD NOT READ THE SELECTED BOOT DISC
    CHECK BOOT PATH AND DISC HARDWARE

    i also have an ide drive running xp and on start up it asks me what drive i want to boot from ide at the top sata next,if i use sata without caddy they both work fine,just when i put sata in caddy its asif it cant find it at all
    any ideas would be great

    Is this USB? If it is, you can't boot windows from a USB Hard disk (caddy or not), without extensive modification to the operating system.
