I put a new hard disk (1 Tb, Toshiba DT01ACA100) into my Dell XPS 410. It's a SATA drive. When I run the reinstallation CD from Dell, it blue screens with 7D code, which means it can't find the boot sector on the hard drive. Well, it's a brand new drive, of course it can't find it. How do I tell it to create a new boot sector?
Additionally, this is my second XPS 410. The one I'm using to write this, is working fine on Win XP. Does that help me at all? If I put the new Toshiba into the working XPS 410, as the second drive, could I somehow copy its boot sector to the new drive and solve my problem?
Thanks,
