    Hi, i recently bought a new hard drive, so i removed the former HD and replaced it with my new one and installed windows on that one. Now I want some of my file from my old HD onto the one, and run that old one as a slave. but seeing as they both still have windows on them, my computer won't really start up. Its starts then goes to a blank screen with a flashing "_". How do I solve this?

    have you set the jumper on the old drive to 'slave' ??

    should boot, but make sure in the bios its set to boot from the new drive as suggested in the other reply
