You installed the OS while the drive was in one system. Then you moved that drive to your system.
And it fails to boot.

This is typical and to be expected.

You need to install the OS while it is in the system where it will live. Not some other system and move it later.

@USAFRet But the same thing happen when i use my own desktop. I couldn't even install windows. Just showing the black screen F1 and F2. I've tried using my own desktop first but failed so i tried to use my friend pc. The windows installed successfully on my friend pc's.

It won't boot from your install USB?

It's not the drive that is the problem.

You need to determine why your PC won't boot from your OS install USB.

Newly bought hard drive is like newly bought VHS or cassette tape - there's nothing on it. You need installation media - properly prepared DVD or USB drive, with Windows setup as per your license.
