Hi I hope someone can help me with a problem I am having sorry for the long description but more info always helps right I purchased a new computer at a show a couple of months back after my old one died, The new computer has a SeaGate 200gb Sata HDD My old computer had a WestDigital 120gb IDE HDD the new board supports Sata so I purchased a IDE to Sata Device Bridge set the jumper to Master since I read Sata has no master/slave designation and restarted my computer I got into my BIOS and the HDD shows up as the Fourth IDE Master and my boot list has my orignal HDD listed to boot 1st. But the computer only gets to a black screen that tells me Disk boot failure install system disk and hit enter. Ok there is the story now here is the questions the old hdd has XP installed on it and so does the new hdd is this creating my problem? Also I am a computer novice at best most I know is from mistakes I make or things I read on this and other posts What disk will I need to install the new computer only came with a Recovery disk, but I do have the Windows XP disk from the old computer.
Once again sorry for the long post and any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Jason
