I pieced together a computer from parts laying around and tried to transplant the HD(Maxtor) from another working system into the new PC but the PC wont start up, I get the initial screen with the bios version then the intel board splash screen and then I get "disk read error, hit alt+cntrl+del to restart". The computer will boot up with a different HD(IBM) that I formatted and installed XP pro on, and it will boot up with the Maxtor HD as a slave to the IBM HD. The Maxtor works perfectly in the system I pulled it from and the new system works perfectly with the IBM that I formatted using the new system. Both HDs have the same OS.
When I set the Maxtor as a primary it is recognized in the bios as a Maxtor 2B020H1 and the jumper hasnt been changed from J48.
The new system is an upgrade form the older one, so I want my HD with all the info to just move form the old system to the new one.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance
