How did you copy or put the windows on the new drive? did you just try to copy and paste all the files? If you did, that will not work. You must reinstall the windows and move the wanted files to the 20gb HD.

The 20GB one boots normally? You were going to format the 120 anyway right? So why not just boot off the 20GB and format the 120GB drive?

It's fixable but if you are just going to format it there's not much point going about repairing the problem.
