I bought a new computer with windows vista. I installed the drive from my old computer with XP into new computer. The new computer has a sata drive. Old drive is ide. I have old drive set to slave and plugged into ide cable slave. When I turn on I get screen with options to start wiindows normally blah, blah. To get it to boot I have to restart and go to boot menu and select sata drive. Is there any way to boot to old drive and run xp? Or is it possible to transfer files from old to new drive?
Thanks
