hoping someone here can help, built a new pc on monday and used a old hdd to install the os on (this is a 5400rpm drive) this will run fine until i try to put another hhd in (7200rpm), it stalls on boot and goes to blue screen, i've tried putting it on the ide channel with my cd writer on and still the same, tried all configerations of jumpers and now i'm out of ideas.
if i just put the newer drive in can i partition it (there is plenty of free space) to install the os or will i loose everything i have on it?
