Windows XP Crashes After Changing D Drive

[Guest Rod Shelley]

I have swappable hard drive enclosures on my AMD 3.0 gig system. I pulled out

the D drive today (computer was off) in order to test another hard drive. The

computer would not boot up normally, and gave me the screen to select safe

mode, etc. I chose safe mode, then shut down. I put the original D drive back

in, but have had nothing but problems since. I did manage to get it to boot

up normally after choosing the restore to previous configuration. I can now

get it to work - more or less. I am using it now to access this forum.

However, I cannot use my Outlook 2000 nnow - every time I try to use it, the

computer crashes, and I have to re-boot multiple times to get it back to

where I can use it. What do I need to do to get this thing back to normal?

Format/reload? Am I unable to use a different D drive with Windows XP? What

if I have to replace the D drive? Is it normal for XP to freak out like this

if a different D drive than the original is used. This has me really upset.

If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it.

 

Thanks,
