[BC] Computer question

[Sid Schweiger]

>>I am having a bit of a problem with a computer here.  One of ours lost its
motherboard, so I scrounged another computer and moved the hard drive from
the first computer but it won't boot.  It will boot to Windows with the
original drive in the working computer, but not with the drive that I need
that has all my files on it.  Both drive jumpers are set for CS.  What could
I be overlooking here?<<

You've probably run into an incompatibility between the Windows hardware drivers on the hard drive and the hardware on the MB.  Hard drive moves onto a different MB and set of hardware are a crap shoot.  You may need to hook up the drive as a slave in another machine, get the data off of it, and wipe it in order to use it in the new machine.
