Problem moving my old hard drive

[Guest]

I recently built a new workstation from the ground up, and left out a
hard drive on purpose. The plan was to use the hard drive that was in
use on the computer the new workstation was replacing (a Dell Dimension
9100), and just re-activate the windows installation. The new
workstation booted fine using a blank PATA test drive and a Windows XP
installation CD. I moved the old hard drive (which happens to be SATA)
to the new workstation and started the computer. The POST ran and the
on-board SATA RAID configuration said that there was only one disk and
continued loading windows, but then a STOP error 0x0000007B came up. I
have already looked through all of Microsoft's KB articles concerning
this specific error code, and the one that best matched my situation is
here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314082/ I followed the solution
which included adding information to the registry by reinstalling the
hard drive back into the Dell, which then booted fine, and adding the
appropriate entries. I think this fix only works for PATA drive though,
but I'm not sure. It didn't work for this hard drive though (an 80 GB
Maxtor brand), but it made Windows load a little bit more before giving
the same STOP error again.

I don't know if this helps but:
When I tried to load the Windows XP installation disk again, with the
Maxtor installed, it told me that there were no drives installed on the
computer. Could this be the on-board RAID controller making a mess of
things?


ANY HELP YOU HAVE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!


Thanks,
