New hard drive problems?

[sPlAtOiD]

It sounds like your boot sector is damaged on the older drive so its trying to boot off the damaged drive.Best to get rid of the old drive reformat and set the new one as master and reinstall windows on the new drive.

Thanks for all of your help. I already reformatted the old hard drive and installed windows on the new and made that the master drive. That works like a champ. I just need a psu now.

Thanks again.

yup, with package computers like Dell, Compaq, HP etc..

they add up whats in the computer and work out how much PSU u need, and coz they are cheap ***holes they dont give any extra for future upgrades, they WANT u to put new stuff in so it fux up and u have to take it back lol.

I got a thermaltake400 too =P Antec also make good PSU's
