| Error Message I pulled a hard drive out of one computer and put it in my new computer to copy some files from it to my new computer and got the error message, Error Loading OS, so I pulled the old drive out and replaced it with the original hard drive but I still get the same error message. Both computers have the same operating system so I didn't think there would be a problem. Can someone please tell how to correct this problem. Thanks Charlie |

| Re: Error Message You'll have to check your CMOS settings and tell them to recognize the new harddrive. Also you should check your jumper settings and make sure the harddrive is connected to the cable properly. The most likely case is that both harddrives have a MBR on them and they both think they are the boot drive. Set one to Master and one to slave.
