Believe i fried my hard Drive few years ago, set the computer aside and bought a new one, recent trying to bring it back to life, had to buy a new harddrive for the other computer because it didnt have enought memory to do windows update, so i took the hard drive from that computer and tried to put it in the old one an still nothing, Says BOOT DEVICE NOT FOUND PLEASE INSTALL AN OPERATING SYSTEM HARD DISK(3F0),  I know this Hard drive works so it should have no problem booting up. What can be going wrong? also the old fried hard drive(presumably) was a mechanical 750G replaced with a working 128G solid state if that plays a factor in this proble.
