I needed to install a new HD with its corresponding OS (xp) in an old Pc (500 mhz, 128 ram, bad CD-ROM), but due to the slowness of the Pc, I prefered to install the OS by using a newer PC. Everything went fine but when I installed the HD in the old pc, XP wouldn't start. My questions are: is it feasible what I tried to do? Could it be that the OS is not working because the BIOS is not recognizing properly the HD? What else could be causing this problem?

It seems like the Auto-detect function of the BIOS is working fine but I am not really sure...



TIA
