Yep. If I disconnect my D: drive, then I can boot and all is normal. Of course, I'd like to repair that drive, but if I hook it back up, then I can't boot the OS any more. The MS KB article (for 2000, admittedly) says I should be able to create boot disks, comment out the ntfs driver in a config file on the first boot disk, go into recovery mode and run chkdsk.

Of course, this doesn't actually work. The other option is to put it in an XP machine that has its system folder on a FAT filesystem. Which pretty much means building a new machine.

Maybe I can put it in an external case. Are there external USB or FW cases that will accept SATA drives?
