I have Windows XP HP on my primary master HDD. I put another HDD in the primary slave slot. It boots fine when both are in, but when I remove or turn off my second HDD (in the BIOS) Windows will only boot in safe mode. Booting normally fails just before the cursor would normally appear (after the windows loading screen). I've tried messing with boot stuff in msconfig, but to no avail.

I have Windows XP Home Premium on my Primary Master HDD. I added in a second drive into the Primary Slave slot just for file storage. I've had it there for a while now, but I want to move it to a different computer now. However, when I remove it, my main HD fails to boot properly and gets stuck booting in a loop. It loads everything, but right before the sign-in screen it goes kaput and reboots. When I keep the slave in and turn it off in the bios I get a message saying "Master Booot Record Error" and then another that says "Disk Boot Failure, insert system disk and press enter". Is there any way I can fix this without reinstalling windows?
