Hey guys.

So I maxed out my 250gig HD and wanted more space. I took a hard drive out of an old computer and installed it in mine. I started it up and it said "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key"

Assuming that my computer took the second hard drive as primary I rebooted and went into the boot menu but it was secondary. So then I proceeded to turn off my computer and take out the second hard drive. When I turned my computer back on I received the same message. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Haha alittle embarrassing but it was unplugged when I pulled it to check the serial. But to keep this going. When I have both fully plugged in it doesn't boot with my primary. Instead the dell logo comes up and says no boot device detected. (Old computer was a dell. I built the one I'm using now.) any fixes for this?
