Greetings fellow bf2s goers,
Im in a bit of a pickle. My old hard drive stuffed up a bit, so I got a new one. Still, I am unsure to how it happened, but when it goes to the windows loading screen, it will load across 2 bars and stop, then come up with the blue screen with "Beginning dump of physical memory". So I decided to get a new HDD since I couldnt fix that one. About a month on using the new hard drive successfully, I atempt to recover my old data by "plug n play" (as the term goes I guess).
To clarify:
-Old Hard drive was a Seagate 500GB HDD 7200RPM
-New HDD is a 1TB Western Digital 7200RPM
Both SATA
Now I turn my PC off, plug in the old hard drive as a slave (at least I think its a slave..?), and log into windows. Windows works fine since old data from hard drive isnt first boot priority.
Now I go to My Computer and see that the hard drive has shown up, but when I try to click it and open it, it says that I need to format the HDD. I dont want to lose the data thats already on the hard drive, yet I want it to work again. Ive tried plugging in the SATA cable into different ports of my motherboard (which is a GIGABYTE GA-965P-S3 if it matters), and the same result occurrs. Ive also tried booting off the old hard drive but it does not even get to the windows loading screen.
If anyone has any advice/tips/help, it will be very, very appreciated, and karmaz for those who use it as an incentive to help too.
Thanks in advance.
