It sounds like you had 2 partitions on the 30 gig drive, one with me and the other with xp for a dual boot system OR more likely, a parallel install with both xp and me in the same partition. When the drive was changed, your dad probably did a fresh install of xp only or he copied the xp partition to the new drive first and then copied me but did not copy or change the boot.ini file- the file responsible for the boot menu (prompt as you call it).
So did he do a fresh install of xp only on the new drive or did he try to copy the old drive to the new drive?
On the new drive, are there 2 partitions OR two windows folders on the same partition?
If xp and me are in separate partitions, look in the root directory of both for the boot.ini files. They are text files that can be opened with notepad. Post them
I’m guessing that you want the boot menu back so that you can choose between ME or XP. If that’s the case, it may be a simple matter of editing boot.ini but we would need to know the answers to those questions for starters.
