after you have altered your settings as you have discovered the proper configurations for your "new" settings / after you have made the changes the way you want / generally you press the "ESC" (escape) key on the keyboard / then slipe accros the tabs at the top of the bios screen until you see "exit" in there should be options like

save changes and exit

discard changes and exit

choose "save changes and exit"

that "should" do it


another option is to copy all contents of your old drive to the new HP drive / then use Win XP Disk Management to "reformat" the old drive; that will wipe out all the old contents of the drive and make it "fresh" then it wont try to boot from that any more because there wont be any more OS on the drive; then you can just return to using the old drive for redundant file / music storage


dont hesitate to ask more questions
