I have a dell laptop with a SATA hard drive and windows XP pro on it. I want to clean that drive and put it into a toshiba. I firist tried to just swap the drives then have the windows CD in the toshibe but after I boot the PC windows does the loading files a blue screen comes up that says there is a problem and restart.
Next I put the drive in the Dell and used windows to delete the partion. I did not create any new ones. I then put the drive in the toshiba and same thing. Next I put back into the dell and created a partion but still same thing.
This drive worked fine in the dell the OS worked with no problems. But now I am unable to use it in the toshiba.
Both PC have SATA driver the dell is 160GB and toshiba was 500GB but is not working anymore
Any ideas why?
