Windows 7 will not boot from new hard drive

cdbrowski · Apr 21, 2014

I am attempting to install a significantly larger hard drive to replace my old one. I created a partition and installed Windows 7 64-bit ultimate. After the OS is done installing and resets it says windows is unable to boot due to incompatible hardware.

What do I need to do to make this work?
