I recently built my first gaming pc a little over a month ago and everything went great except when i tried to take my old hard drive out of my old computer and plug it into my new computer it would not boot in ACHI or IDE. If i set the Hard drive to boot in raid mode it works just fine and everything runs smooth.
Here is my problem though. The hard drive i have is 500 GB western digital green and its full. I went on ebay and bought a 1 TB western digital blue hard drive and downloaded acronis software which claims will allow me to completely copy everything from my old hard drive to the new one including the operating system. The problem is when i run acronis it says i need at least one western digital hard drive in my computer for ti to work and i have two in it now! I triple checked and both are hooked up properly but it just wont work.
My question is this maybe caused by the fact that i am running my hard drive in raid mode and not ACHI io IDE. In that case does anyone have any idea how to get my computer to boot in ACHI or IDE? As i said it wont boot and gives me a blue screen that flashes by so quick i cannot read it and then it just goes in an infinite loop!
If no one knows how to fix that, if you know a way i could send everything including my operating system to my new hard drive from my old one i would be so grateful for the help.
