Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - [SOLVED] Installing 200GB HD w/data in HP6000 series

I have been trying to add a HD from my old PC (no OS on it) to my new HP6000 series.
I keep getting an Error Loading OS when I boot up.
The original HD and DVD are connected with a cable. There is a place on the motherboard to daisy chain and I was able to add another DVD drive that is working fine. I just can't get the HD to work. I changes the jumper settings on the HD but it makes no difference. I went into BIOS and it shows the HD as the 6th one. but I still get the Error on boot up.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
RHonda
