New PC, 98 with old BIOS by William B. Lurie
That's the best I can describe it. I have a hard drive from my old PC and it won't boot in Normal Mode in my new PC, I suspect because it was mad with a different BIOS. However, it boots just fine in Safe Mode. Is there a way to get around this? (I hope I made it clear enough). Thanks.
