Thanks for the help. I did originally ask the question because when I connected the drive as slave after I had installed XP on the new file I could not boot up and got the message "Error opening operating system" so assumed it was the old registry/windows on the slave drive. This was the original problem with the old installation as the computer refused to boot with the above message.

Have you made sure the drives do not conflict with master/slave settings (the error suggests this may the problem)? Unless it's an old motherboard, setting everything to cable select usually works.
