I am a corporate PC Tech needing to get a new personal PC.
My old Dell Studio T435/9000 died, motherboard failure. I did not want to buy and install new motherboard, just take my Win7 x64 hard drive to new PC. I have apps on there that I have no install disks for.
Hard drive is good. I plug it into an Optiplex 990 at work, and aside from minor driver issues, the drive boots up. Old system had Intel X58 Express chipset and Serial ATA -300 storage controller.
I was given a Dell Precision T5610. Drive does not boot from it 0x0000007B error. Dell says it is a disk driver error, drive wll work on a fresh install, but I lose my apps. Not an option.
What is my best option? If I buy a new hard drive, compatible with Serial ATA-600, then clone old drive to it, will drive be able to work with it with no fresh install? Or can I get a box that I can be sure will work with old hard drive.
Thank you!!!!!
