For example, you have a machine that has two hard disks - Disk0 and Disk1. Each disk is connected to a separate controller. System files are located on Disk1.

When you restart the machine, you recieve the following message:
"Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware ..."
