How many disks do you have? And how does your original disk (the one you
replaced) enter the equation?
On your first disk, XP is apparently on E:. Do you also have another
instance of XP on C:?
Please tell us what is on every single partition you have. So far, all
you have said is that XP is on the "second partition" and data is on the
"third partition." What about the first and fourth partitions? What
about your other disks?
And looking at the other post, it really looks like you did not perform
a proper Clean Install.
Finally, when you say that you have "all [your] data on the third"
partition, is it possible you have installed programs to that partition
as well? (Although having a separate partition for data *only* is not a
bad idea, programs should always be on the same partition as the OS.)
