I have two hard drives. One contains my xp install, the other contains the boot files, NTLDR, boot.ini and some other files I assume go along with them. What I want to do is move them over to the hard drive with the OS install so I can have only one hard drive running. I don't remember how this situation happened, but that this has been my configuration for a couple years now. I've done online searches but all I've found is various ways how to edit the boot.ini file, but none yet how to move them and let the OS/Computer know where they are. Does anyone have some experience with this and can help me out?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

The easiest way would be to repair the boot files using the install media of the same service pack level as your current install. You could remove the second hard drive, and then boot from the Windows disc. The process is different based on what OS you have installed.
