Well, I'm not so sure now that you've put some doubt in my mind. Is that a thing?

All I know is that it won't boot from my SATA hdd running Win XP.

Sometimes, it helps to do a little digging before asking a question...

Looks like I may have found my issue. The Dell is set up to run Win 7 64. Found out after I went to Dell site and entered the service tag number. My HDD has XP installed, so I assume it can't use that mobo. Sound about right?

I'm a very low-level geek and have a little issue migrating to a Dell desktop a friend of mine gave me. My Gateway is maxed (1 GB Ram, single-core Pentium CPU), so he gave me his Dell with a dual core CPU and 4 GB. All I want to do is take my Western Digital HDD and put it into the Dell. But when I boot it up, it goes into a loop and can't fully boot windows. I assume I need some drivers or something for the Dell installed on the HDD?

I figure it's an easy fix and something that I could do if someone points me in the right direction.

Thanks a ton.
