BIOS is looking for a boot sector. If the disk does not have a valid boot sector at the address which is also known by the BIOS, it won't boot from disk.

The hard drive stores the Operating System. Like for example : Windows XP or Windows Vista or even Windows 7 without the hard drive your computer will not turn on.
you can connect both computer through networking.. you can use pen drive..
You use My Computer & Windows Explorer to browse the file system on a drive in Windows XP.
Windows XP switches off the computer's monitor Windows XP switches off the computer's hard drive
When you buy a new Windows XP computer, in what unit is the size of a typical hard drive measured?
Standard is My Computer > C Drive > then WINDOWS...or C:\WINDOWS...be weary making changes in this folder, as anything that is changed that is wrong will cause your computer to not boot up.
Usually Windows is installed on the C:/ drive of your compuer. Press WINLOGO+E to see your hard drives
Go to system settings when the computer starts to boot up, and then it will show you what drive is your hard drive. The hard drive is what the computer normally boots in unless changed and the letter is normally C:/
Frist you make a Backup of you Windows into anthor drive. Than you transfer you backup in you dads computer.Than In you father computer you formate a drive which contain you father windows. But rember it when you transfer backup in you father computer,transfer in anthor drive EXAMPAL d,e,f drive ect.Than install you window from the drive where you transfer the backup & there is solution of you problem. Note: If you want just windows backup. then just install Norton ghost and create ghost disk.
As long as they use the same data connector, yes. However, you will likely not be able to use the hard drive, as Windows XP will not usually work when transferred to another computer, and Windows Me cannot read the NTFS file system. Reinstalling Windows XP or formatting the hard drive in Windows Me will resolve these respective issues.
