Question Drives detected but cannot boot from them.

[Cbudd55]

Hi, I just installed a a new cpu, motherboard and ram and used my drives from before on the new system. But I cannot select them to boot from the drives. I can see they are detected in the bios, but not able to boot from them or install windows onto them.

Of course, any assistance here requires a full list of all the parts.
Old system and new system.
Make/model of everything.

But almost certainly, this will require a full wipe and reinstall of whatever OS you're working with.

Have you tried booting your system from a USB with windows installed? Its worth a try starting with that, and then transferring windows and your files on your older hard drives.

Entirely unsure where you're going with that....but that will not work.
Ever.
