So the hard drive of my main pc just died. I have another hard drive on another computer with an OS already installed. I tried to plug it on my main computer, and for some reason, it just automatically restarts on the windows boot screen.

I already tried to switch the sata controller to IDE/AHCI, still no luck.
 
Solution
Yes, that is frequently the result of putting a drive, with an existing OS, in another PC.
Does not boot.

Solution?
Clean install.
