I moved the hard drive of my old dell PC to my new hp because i had important files on there but not enough time to copy each individual one. I moved it to the new system and made sure everything was plugged in correctly but when I booted the system it was trying to boot over my IPv4 then my IPv6 then it said there was no boot able device or it was damaged*(don't remember the exact message but it was the same thing basically)So I rebooted and went into the bios and in the boot menu the hard drive didn't show up. I made sure it was plugged in all of the way and it was yet it still wasn't recognized. Did I do something wrong? Would it matter that it was an old hard drive with vista going into a system that came with windows ?Thanks in advance.

IPv4 is Internet Protocol version 4 and IPv6 is Internet Protocol version 6. It looks as though it is attempting to boot off a network. Double check the BIOS to see where the computer is attempting to boot from. Have you tried unplugging the drive you recently added, resetting the boot order in the BIOS and then adding the old drive back in?
