What mode is the drive configuration in? IDE or AHCI? Try changing between them and see if that works. Different bios' the menu's are different, but typically on older ones its under something like "IDE Configuration"

If you have access to another system you can plug the two drives into, you could also use something like Clonezilla to copy the HDD install to the SSD, and not have to reinstall anything
