OK, Its is a little complicated complicated..
For easier understanding , I have 3 internal harddisks.. Lets call them HDD1 , HDD2 and HDD3.
HDD1 has a Windows 8.1 OS and some importand information. ( completely owrking)
HDD2 has an ubuntu OS , but whenever I try booting with it, it fails and PC restarts. When I connect it with HDD1 and boot using HDD1 , the PC dosent show HDD2's partition or files. but in harddisk management window, the PC recoganises that HDD2 is connected.
And finally HDD3 is a free harddisk with no data..
So, heres the deal..
I want to boot the PC with HDD1 and transfer all files including OS from HDD2 to HDD3 . Is there any way I can do that?
I need to recover all files from HDD2 and tranfer them. Please help.

Hi, you're issue is that Ubuntu uses a file system that cannot be read by windows. If you can't get into ubuntu, all you need to do is download and burn a Ubuntu live cd (get the latest version of Ubuntu from their website, then use disk burning software to 'burn image'- set you're computer to boot from the DVD drive first and you'll be able to get into linux by loading from the cd- from there you'll have access to all you're files and may be able to repair whatever is preventing it loading properly).

As for migrating the Windows OS drive to another disk, there is a great free tool for this:
