I currently run a Dell Dimension 8100 and in it I run two hard-drives. However, I'm now moving onto a Dimension 2350 and would like to take the HD from the 8100 and run it as the only drive in the 2350. It has a full Windows installation on it but has been running as a slave drive on the 8100. Now, when I run it as the only drive on the 8100, it works fine but, when I try to run it as the only drive on the 2350, I'm greeted with a DOS screen telling me Windows hasn't started properly and then offering me the Safe Mode start-up options.
I then tried a different HD in the 2350 only to get the same problem so it seems as though the 2350 isn't keen on accepting HDs other than its own right now.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can run the HD from the 8100 in the 2350, or as to what the problem is?
