Problems with boot sector

I got two harddrives. One IDE (lets call it disk A) and one SATA (lets call it disk B).

Disk A is about to die.
all info on disk A who is needed, is moved over to disk B.

I installed winxp on disk B. However, there is something wrong. I get "unvalid partition table" when I try to boot up with disk B.

So now I boot up with disk A, and it starts winxp from disk B.
Yes, its weird.

Disk B got 3 partitions.

Two primarys, one at 95GB and one at 7.2MB (the last one was clearly a mistake), and one logical of 95GB.

I need to get disk B to boot up by itself, as Disk A is likely to die any minute now.

Please help, you techie geniouses!
