Hard Drive Error - Window XP Pro?
Install a functioning 60 GB Hard Drive - XP Pro - into another computer as Master. (disconnected existing 10 GB Hard Drive which had a pirated copy of XP Pro ) Did not change the boot settings or boot from disk.
Now say have error. If I try to repair it with the XP disk, it will do the preload until it come to the Install, Repair, Exit portion of setup. If I click on Repair or Install, it will say "No Hard Drive Detected".
Tried it as a Slave in another computer, same error message.
Is there a way to recover the Hard Drive?

Windows doesn't do well with switching computers. In these cases, it is recommended (if not required) to do a fresh install of Windows.

Make sure it's on the 0 connector of the cable on the 0 IDE slot and no other drives are on that cable with jumpers set to master.

Maybe. Locate a programme called "spinrite" It's a really small programme and boots from a floppy or a CD and analyses and repairs hard disks.
