[QUOTE="blert, post: 1043352, member: 64702"] Ok, so let's see if I am understanding correctly... You put the old drive back in, no other drives. It does boot to it but you have to choose a boot device after POST. ...if this is correct it's not a big deal and just requires a boot priority change in BIOS. The only way to know for sure if it's the drive or not is to test it. If you can boot to your old drive... Open a command prompt: Win+R -> type "cmd <enter>" -> type "chkdsk <enter>" (no quotes). Chkdsk is not the best drive scanner but it can work, just do not use the "/f" option at this time or it will try to fix the drive and you will lose data. It's also pretty slow. If I misunderstand you and you can't boot to the old drive then let me know so we can hammer out why. [/QUOTE]
