Default New PC, ME with old BIOS

That's the best I can describe it.
I have a hard drive from my old PC
with ME on it. 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.


If you have an installation CD for the Windows Me then the best way to
resolve these issues is to boot with that CD and do a "Repair Install"
of Windows Me.

These instructions are for Windows XP but the procedure for Vista is
pretty well the same.

Good luck
