Question Why my pc wont boot with an SSD

[IzanaKurokawa]

So basically I have An old motherboard (p5g41c m lx) With Xeon X5492 And gtx 780 ti
That i built to my brother for mid gaming
And i bought a 120 gb SSD to boot the windows faster and stuff
But when i connect the ssd with the windows He doesnt want to boot up. like it shows just a Blinking cursor
and the mother has sata 2 support that supports ssd's
and when i boot this ssd on my gaming pc.
it boots normally.
at first i tought it might be in bios i need to change the sata controll to achi
but the bios doesnt support these functions
becasue its old
So i want might help how can i boot the pc with the ssd
Becasue boot up with hhd's is like old or something
Thanks!

SATA port(s) in that MB may be SATA1 and most modern SSDs will not work unless at least SATA2.

Yes but the motherboard yes supporting sata2.

Because motherboard of your old computer doesn't support UEFI boot.

You installed windows on another pc in UEFI mode.
Then you transplanted this drive to your old computer (not UEFI compatible).
And now you're wandering, why it doesn't boot.

Do clean install of windows on your old pc.

Yea, I installed clean windows on the old PC
But it still shows the blinking coursor.
Like in the windows installation it says like I can't install Windows on that hardware because I need to turn on the disk controller on Bios. But I don't have that function On Bios. Might I need to modify the Bios or something.

Did you set sata controller to ahci mode?
Did you have only single drive connected, while installing windows?
Did you clean target drive before installing windows? (diskpart clean)

Nore - you can not change sata controller mode after install is done. Or it will not boot anymore.
