well my friend has three pc towers one gateway select 1100 , Gateway essential 433c , and a compaq presario 6000. I want to use the select1100 case becasue its bigger for expansion..the only big question i have it is no matter what hard drive i hook up to it , when it boots i keep getting a small blinking dash in the top left corner screen.. im not sure what it means. is something inside the case no propertly hooked up? or is it something else. i tried 4 hard drives and no luck. i came to you guys for expert help. thanks again..any questions on specs or anything please ask.

every OS system that is installed on a harddrive from different computers has a different drivers, and setup installed , if u put a HD that was installed from a different computer into another system the computer wont boot because it wont recognise the proper settings,etc
(unless u have it set to as slave then thats a different story)

u need to formatt it and install a fresh new OS on it
