[QUOTE="threepac81"]Go into your BIOS and look at the "Boot Order" make sure the CD-ROM Drive is set to boot first. If that does not work see if your HDD is properly set to slave with the jumpers. If that does not work get SATA and call it a day...canucks12792
will it work if i get windows cd ?
You need to make sure the CD-ROM drive in the Boot order (or at least before any of the HDDs). The Windows CD should be bootable but if the CD-ROM isn't first it still wont boot.

Still...permissions/rights are funny like that. Go into the properties of the HDD > Security tab give yourself Full Control. Under Advance > Owner tab make yourself the owner. Is there no way of doing this in XP? There doesn't seem to be a security tab upon going into the properties of the Local Disk C: drive in my computers. Do you have XP Home installed?
[QUOTE="threepac81"][QUOTE="Lyron-Baktos"]I was having a similar porblem last week when I put in my new hard-drive and set up the dual boot. While I was on vista anything that I would open up on the new hard drive was read only. For me all I had to do was go into my computer, right click on the new hard drive and under the security tab click edit, then click on my user account and check the box for full control.Dahaka-UK

I used to use a 56k modem just a year and a half ago. I have gone from dial-up modem to Cable 6mbps/768kmbps to a Fiber 20mbps/20mbps connection in that same span of time.
