can you please help

mainboard to the 1st pc

These errors are normally the result of a problem with the disk controller,
cable or hard drive. It would be highly unlikely that both motherboards would
result in the same error unless they both had the same controller and used
the same non-Microsoft driver. This leaves the drive or cable as being the
most likely suspect.

Have you tried using a different SATA cable and running "Chkdsk /r" to do a
full surface scan on the drive?
