The situation is this:
I had an all in one ace aspire pc, and suddenly broke down. A black screen appears saying "select proper boot device", etc. And in the BIOS panel the HDD is not recognised neither the ODD. So i'm guessing is the motherboard? Because few times it actually booted and started correctly just to die later.Anyways, repairing the all in one is not longer so important because i bought a new tower pc.The important matter here is that i have 250gb of lots of games, music, and photos in the old hard drive ( that if the hdd itself is not the problem).
So, my idea was to install the old sata hdd in the new pc to see if it works and was not the problem in the all in one. And then recover all my data by copying-pasting all files.
MY QUESTION IS: is it ok to do this? will the old hdd f**k up my new pc? what problems will i have?
My old hdd is a WD BLUE 500GB WD5000AAKX
My new motherboard is a GIGABYTE AM1M-S2H
by the way both pc's have windows 7.
please help!! THANK YOU!
