Harddrive question...

Hey, i was wondering if there is anyway to get my harddrive to work on a completely different setup? I took it out of my AMD computer due to and tried to put it in my Intel setup and i couldn't get it to run. I tried running it as a slave but that didn't work either. The original harddrive works on the intel and the harddrive that i want to move works on its original setup. Is there anyway i can get the AMD hd to work on the Intel setup without having to reformat? Would just reinstalling the vista work?

 

If you are trying to take the HD from one machine and put it into another and boot the drive as it was installed on the first machine, You will in almost every case have many many problems. The processor is the least of them. You probably wont have the right drivers for any of the hardware, like video, NIC, USB, sound, etc. and most important the chipset is not correctly identified.

It doesn't matter if you install it as a primary or secondary drive or master or slave. It probably won't boot.

If your just trying to add it as a second drive the other machine to copy some data or something, just install it as a secondary master by itself, meaning with nothing else on the same ribbon and you should be able to see it by booting the normal drive for the computer.
