I messed up? - Help using old optical drive in new PC?

[Obzoleet]

Hello

For 2 years ago my old PC stopped working because of the motherboard. At the time I didnt have money to fix it..

Now 2 years later I was offered a PC from a friend.

Its formatted and has windows installed on a 512 intel SSD, works fine.

My old optical drive does not have windows, Only a lot of data I really want.

If I connect it with SATA I get blue screen saying System thread exception not handled.

I checked bios too see if I can configure AHCI setting but I dont get the option. I can only choose to enable or disable sata pretty much.

The optical drive is detected correctly in bios. I also tried different SATA cable but same.

Any suggestions?

If you are able to access your Windows computer then try to update the drivers it mostly happens if drivers are outdated.
