Hi All
I have a new PC, so I have decided to donate my former system to my brother. I am keeping my former 120GB HDD, and so have put his former HDD (a 2001 Maxtor 80GB HDD) into the former PC.
The BIOS is detecting the new hard drive, but I'm getting the blue screen of death when turning the PC on (after getting the option of booting in safe mode - though whatever mode I boot in is ineffective). While reformatting wouldn't be too much of a hardship, I'd rather not do it - can anyone here suggest any solutions to the problem?
Thanks in advance for any help! (And apologies if this is in the wrong place!)
