I just built a new desktop computer with windows 8.1 and I wanted to transfer a rather large amount of files to the desktop HDD. I removed the HDD from my laptop, and plugged it into the SATA power and data on my MOBO. After I transferred all of the files I plugged it back into my laptop, but it would not boot windows. All of the fans come on and it posts fine, but I can not even get into the BIOS. The operating system is on an SSD in the laptop, so I removed the HDD and the laptop boots up as normal. If I plug the drive back into the desktop it works fine.
Note that my laptop is running windows 7, is this some type of security that was added to the drive by windows 8? How can I fix this problem? Thanks in advance
