i took both my hard drives, my cd/rw, dvd drive, and floppy drive out of my old pc. put all of it into my new pc, and i get this message: a disk read error occurred. press ctrl+alt+del to restart. it wouldn't even go through the post.
so i took everything out of the new pc, put it back into my old pc and it booted up just fine.

Are you trying to boot your new pc with the hard drive and XP from the old computer?

 

[deleted24062011]

yes my current hard drive has xp on it. and yes that's the drive i'm trying to put into my new pc. the bios will see the drives, but i keep getting that error message. thanks for your help
