Question : Problem: Moving a hard drive is giving me the BSOD.
I have just built a computer and am attempting to move the old hard drive (It is a SATA hard drive) into the new machine. When I boot up the new computer, I get the "blue screen of death" before I get the Windows splash screen. The blue screen says that I might have a virus, but that I should remove any new hardware or new drivers and try to boot again. Since all the hardware is new, I pulled the hard drive and put it back into the old machine and it came up without any problems. Since the SATA drivers should be on the hard drive, it doesn't make any sense that it wouldn't boot on the new computer.
Help?

you cannot just move an installed XP OS to other hardware like that ; at least a reapir install is needed :
