Upon startup I do see a Microsoft Windows XP Home.
I try that one also and end up in the same spot. Something just won't let a new drive in, even if it has an OS on it. The recovery console recognized the OS, but I don't know the results from the test. It seems to have ghosted completely from the other drive.
