So, I looked around for a while to try find an answer to this problem, and my case seems a bit unique.
I purchased a new computer, and after about 2 months of use decided I needed something off the hard-drive of my obsolete PC. I took it out of my old PC, along with it's IDE cable. I had installed Ubuntu on another hard-drive contained within my old PC, which has since failed. I am left with one hard-drive with Windows 7, which is bootable, one failed hard-drive and an old IDE hard-drive with Windows XP. When attempting to boot Windows XP, I get Grub error 22. Downloading a Ubuntu distro is not an option at current, but may be soon. How can I boot Windows XP? I only have a Windows 7 bootdisk. Within "6-10", which will be more like 20+ with an international mail redirection, I will have the latest Ubuntu.
How can I boot Windows?
