HI there,
My friend recently gave me a hard drive because he claimed there was a bad sector on the hard drive which did not allow him to boot into windows (XP). I installed the hard drive and ran a check disk while using my own hard drive, and found no bad sectors but windows claimed to have solved some problems. Now I unplugged my own hard drive and booted his as primary and got a blue screen that was only there for 1 second while loading Windows XP (couldn't read it in time) and then the computer restarted and kept repeating the blue screen, restart cycle.
Now my question is there something in the bios I should set up and that will let me bypass the blue screen? Or is this the fault of the hard drive? I assume it's my drivers that are causing the issues since there are no drivers on the hard drive for my computer.
