please explain how you are connected the drive to the mothereboard ?


I believe you have a jumper conflict.

try putting the new drive on the same cable as the old boot drive. The old drive should be at the very end of the cable with the jumper cap set on master. Then connect the new drive to the IDE data cable with the jumper cap set as "slave"

post back >>>> hint: most all "branded" computers use the jumper position of Cable Select (CS); so you will need to change the jumper on the old drive as well as the NEW drive
