I can't boot from my drive.

I have a 1TB Toshiba Hard drive that I used as a boot drive in my HP. It works fine, but if I plug it into my older pc (Dell), it won't boot. Instead, it only shows a black screen with a flashing cursor in the corner. In the bios, I see my drive, but it won't boot.

 

I can boot my Dell from old laptop drives I have, but those ones won't work in my HP. I'd like to move my 1TB drive to my Dell, but how can I make it boot into windows? If you need more info on the specs to diagnose, I can provide it.

Other than going through the Windows installation process again on the new drive, it seems like it just isn't going to play well with the Dell components.

"uhhhhhhhhhh yeah id go with the 2600 its a good value for the money"
