I was using easy migrate 7.0 to move to a bigger drive. Well there are two options, clone hard drive, or add a new hard drive. I chose new hard drive and told it to set it as the primary drive. I did this before i moved my filrs to that drive. Now when I turn on my system it automatically loads the easy migrate software. All I can do is go to BIOS setup, but it doesn't recognize my old hard drive, for primary or secondary hard drive. Can I reset bios or anything. Please help me I need to find my old drive and set it as primary.:mad:

If I reset the bios it should work right. Cause my old drive still has the jumoers set as primary. If i just reset bios is should recognize my old drive as primary and boot from there right. So then how do i reset my bios. And resetting my bios won't erafe my hd or anything like that will it?

Reseting the bios won't mess with your HDD. Give me an idea of your hard drive setup. Are they SATA or IDE? If they are IDE, are they on the same cable?

Can't guide you much on that migrate software though. Never used it.

IDE drives. I'm don't know if they are wired together. Will I be able to reset the bios without opening the case? And if so can i do it before the easy migrate program starts, because it starts almost immediately after booting my computer. It's the only thing on that drive. No OS or anything. Resetting the bios will make it recognize my old drive right?

You usually have an option in the bios to go back to default settings, but if you want to do a full reset, you'll hae to open the case and use the jumper next to the coin battery. Who installed the new drive?

it's not a new drive it came with he comp. They said 160 gb hd, but it was 2 drives one with like 150gb and one with 10gb. Everything was on the 10gb drive so i wanted to migrate to the big one. But now it will only recognize one drive out of the 3 i have. (2 internal 1 external.) and I don't know which one is recognized. I am so frustrated why won't it recognize my drives. I haven't messed with any stock wiring. Plus when I look at the hard drive(s) it honestly looks like one. Sorry if this is a lot all help is appreciated

I did reset to default still didn't find the drive

now both internal drives are gone. it does find my usb drive

Ok, You have a partitioned drive. That's why your bios has been seeing one physical drive while windows sees two "drives". What windows was actually seeing is two volumes on the same drive. A partitioned drive is where a single drive has multiple volumes. If this is a storebought PC that had the windows installation on one of the volumes, I think that migrate software might have screwed with it copying the installation over to the new one. I say look around and see if you have an install disk that the computer came with. If you don't you can probably get with the manufacturer and assuming that you didn't void the warranty by using the migrate software they can help, or it'll hurt but you may need to do a full reinstall.

If it's a homebuilt however, you should have a copy of windows somewhere. You can reinstall onto the drive where you expect your operating system to be. The windows installation disk should have no problems finding your stuff during an install.
