Old Hard Drive Won't Boot New Computer
I bought a new computer. As I have a lot of programs on my old hdd, I thought I would just take my old drive and put it in my new computer. The drive in the new computer is SATA I. I hooked up the old drive to the first IDE channel. In the bios, I set it to boot to the old drive first. I figured I could switch between the two drives by going into the bios and changing the boot sequence. However, when I try to boot from the old drive I get the following message:
"We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this.

No matter which option I chose, the computer reboots to the new drive. Is there any way I can make this work?
