i built a new (faster comp) for my Wife and she everything thats on her hard
drive the same. How can I use the old hard drive in the new comp.
I put the drive in the new computer and started it up,I reconized all the
drives,video card,I could go to the Bios and set everything,then when Windows
tries to start I
get this same stuff:" I get the message: We
apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A
recent hardware or software change might have caused this.
I've clicked on every option given and the same thing happens every time.
The windows startup begins, a blue screen flashes--too quickly to be able to
read the text, then the screen with the boot up options appears; immediately
afterwards it goes back to the original screen with the "apology" quoted
above.
I saw a posting in this forum touching this subject saying that if windows
doesn't start, press F8 and start in safe mode with command prompt. I tried
that too but it just lead me to the "apology" again. When from the original
screen I enter "Safe Mode with Command Prompt" it lists a bunch of commands,
but gives me no prompt. It then goes into the sequence of events already
described above. "
If I take the hard drive and put it back in the old computer it boots up
fine,no problems.
If i have to do a clean Install to the new computer,can I migrate all the
software installed,bookmarks in IE,etc to the new computer with having to
reinstall everything seperatly.
