Boot failure, boot repeating , or partial boot is a common symptom of system corruption. Its may b coz f corruption of OS u r using. Go for format once. Nd do not go for persisting current OS. Just overwrite the current one, nd install a fresh one. If u r still sufferin, u shld be sure abt ur Harddisk. try bootin another HD on d same m/c. Otherwise, u shld count on d warrenty period of ur system.

Can i setup my seagate hard drive as a slave even though it has a another version of windows xp installed/?

Yes. Be careful to setup your boot priority sequence to boot the desired OS from the correct drive.

Also if this drive was a master before, you may need to re-position the jumper.

Wd and Seagate usb hard drives attached to computer Will not boot when WD usb hd on Seagate makes no difference

Check the drive letter assignment for the disks, and make sure it is not the C: driver.
I am assuming you can boot and then plug the disk, right?
So use the Disk Manager to check the driver letter, and change it if it is conflicting with another disk.

I can't use this as a bootable device with Windows XP.

Dear,
Not every PC is capable of booting from a USB flash drive. For the most part, computers manufactured within the last two years are generally able to boot from a flash drive. Older systems may require a BIOS update, or might not be able to boot from a flash drive at all.
Drive must be formatted with FAT file system.
For your systen you need an internal Hard drive.

Regards,

I had the same issue. I went into the bios and disabled USB Legacy support. This seemed to have fixed my issue. But I havent tested extensively.
