  New cloned Hard Drive question         


Author: Sam M.
Date: May 24, 2008 21:53

Hi,
The motherboard on my old PC went bad and I had to get a new PC. I installed
a second 200G HD and cloned the HD from my old fried computer to this new
secondary HD. My new PC runs XP Pro and the new cloned drive, I'm attempting
to get XP home to operate. I can get this cloned drive to boot by changing
the BIOS but I can only get XP to load in safe mode. Previous to getting safe
mode there's a blue screen with suggestions and the problem listed there is
STOP: 0x0000007E (0x0000005, 0xBA2F8750, OxBA4E342C, 0xBA4E3128).

I tried copying all the drivers from the XP Pro that shipped with my new PC
into the Drivers folder of the non booting system but it didn't solve the
problem.

I need to get this running since my kids had lots of games and educational
software on the fried PC that can't be easily replaced.

Thanks

  sata to IDE - boot up issues

Hi all, I originally ran my xp sp2 pc with a SATA main boot disk. This
failed, so I replaced it with a new IDE disk drive I had. this was
some time ago, so I cant remember what I did at the time, but I have
tried now to install a SATA data only drive. The problem is the PC is
trying to boot up from this sata drive & just goes dead as there is no
OS on this disk. I have checked the BIOS & it should be looking at the
IDE drive to boot up - but there is clearly a problem as soon as I
enable the on board sata drive & install the disk, - any
suggestions/help ? thanks
