I have a SATA hard drive from a computer that died and I'm trying to get some files off of it. The new computer works fine until I connect the old drive as a secondary drive, then it just gets stuck on the STARTING WINDOWS screen. If I take out the old drive it works fine again. I tried this with two different computers (one running Windows7 and one running Windows8.1) and the drive causes the same problem on both of them. I ordered a drive enclosure, but I was wondering if there is anything else I can try while I'm waiting for it to arrive.
NOTES:
The old drive was running Windows 7 if that matters
The drive does appear in the BIOS
My MOBO allows for SATA master/slave configuration, tried each.
