| | Computer wont read my hard drive So i build a newcomputer yesterday. I decided to use my old SATA hard drive from my computer, it has my OS, and other files on it. I get everything put in, but when i start the computer it says "no hard disk is detected". I enter the bios menu, and i notice it recognizes that it is in there, as well as my disk drive. How come it wont let me load my hard drive, and it doesnt detect it when i start it up.. but BIOS sees that its there? How do i fix it? |

| | Also being a new build it's possible something isn't connected, it happens.   It's doubtful a HDD with an OS will boot and run in a computer other than the one it was installed in initially. The OS takes a hardware "picture" when it's installed and the MS Genuine Advantage Technology will invalidate it. |
