    Pay attention to the jumper settings and see if there are any problems.

    There are still questions hi me.

    If the interface is the same, the hard disk of the old computer can be used directly on the new computer.

    At present, the hard disks used in home computers are hard disks with SATA interface, and the hard disks using SATA port are also called serial port hard disks, which are the trend of PC hard disks, and a major feature of SATA interface hard disks is that they support hot swapping, that is, hard disks can be plug and play.

    Serial ATA uses a serial connection method, and the serial ATA bus uses an embedded clock signal to have stronger error correction capabilities, and the biggest difference compared to the past is that it can check the transmission instructions (not just data) and automatically correct if errors are found, which greatly improves the reliability of data transmission. The serial interface also has the advantage of being simple and hot-swappable.

    Yes, a hard disk is just a storage device, and you can use it by connecting the hard disk connector to the motherboard's hard disk connector via a data cable.

    Motherboard hard disk interface.

    Hard disk interfaces can be divided into IDE interfaces and SATA interfaces. On older motherboards, there are 2 more IDE ports, usually the IDE ports are located below the PCI slot, and the space is perpendicular to the memory slot (there are also horizontal ones). On the new motherboards, most of the IDE interfaces have been reduced or even none, and the SATA interface has been replaced by a SATA interface.

    Hard disk interface. From an overall point of view, the hard disk interface is divided into IDE, SATA, SCSI, SAS and Fibre Channel five kinds, IDE interface hard disk is mostly used in household products, but also partially used in servers, SCSI interface hard disk is mainly used in the server market, and Fibre Channel is only used in high-end servers, which is expensive. SATA is mainly used in the household market, including SATA, SATA, SATA.

    The causes may generally be as follows:

    1. The boot disk of the BIOS setting is wrong, and the boot disk is set to a CD, floppy disk or U disk, etc., and it happens that there is a U disk, floppy disk or CD on the computer;

    2. The hard disk is not in good contact.

    3. The hard disk mode is set incorrectly.

    4. Hard disk MBR error.

    5. Check the optical drive, U disk, floppy disk, etc., and take it out if there is any;

    6. Enter the BIOS and set the hard disk boot as the first boot disk in the boot item settings, and try to reboot whether it can be booted;

    7. Enter the BIOS, modify the hard disk mode, and try to restart it after setting different modes to see if it can start;

    8. Disassemble the chassis, unplug the hard disk cable and reconnect it, and then try whether it can be started; During the boot process, listen to and touch the hard disk with your hands to see if the rotation is normal;

    9. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart the computer.

    10. Press F8 to enter the mode, and select the latest correct configuration or normal start.

    The above methods can't solve the problem, reinstall the system.

    OK.

    Prepare a power cable and a SATA cable, and connect the HDD to the SATA cable and the power cable.

    2.Screw the hard disk to the hard drive compartment of the case.

    2.Use a SATA cable to connect the hard drive to the motherboard. The power cord is connected to the power supply3When you boot up, you can see the new hard drive letter.

    It depends on whether the data interface of the hard disk is the same, if it is all SATA interface, then it can still be used on the new computer, if it is an IDE interface, you need to install an IDE to SATA adapter card to use it.

    1. Do you use SATA hard drive now? It doesn't matter if both hard drives have Windows, you just need to set your SATA hard drive in the BIOS to boot up first over the IDE hard drive, there is no conflict.

    3。There is no problem with connecting the hard disk and optical drive in one line, just pay attention to the master-slave settings. One is set to the main disk, and the other is set to the slave disk, and it doesn't matter which one is the master and which slave. Just set up the jumper.

    Hello, yes, but some hard disks have different interfaces, so those cables may not be connected, but the power cables of the motherboard should be satisfied.

    If the hard disk and optical drive on the old computer are SATA interfaced, then they can be used directly on the new computer.

    The wiring method for the optical drive and the hard disk is the same.

    If your old computer is using an IDE interface for hard disks and optical drives.

    Then you need to use the IDE to SATA interface and connect it to the motherboard.

    The old hard drive can be connected to the new computer. However, nowadays, new computer motherboards usually only reserve one IDE port for optical drives, and the rest are mostly SATA ports. If your new motherboard has an extra IDE interface, you can use it with an old hard drive.

    But if your optical drive is not the latest SATA interface and occupies the IDE interface, then there is no choice but to make a trade-off.

    You can use the general old hard drive IDE port.

    As long as you're not afraid of slowness.

    First of all, make sure that the old hard disk has no bad sectors and can read data normally. Plug it in directly. When a negative order is used, it is OK. If you want to use it as a system disk, you can't.

    1. For example, the old hard disk is removed from other computers, and the hardware configuration parameters of the existing computer are different.

    It can not be directly installed on the current computer for use, because the computer hardware is different, the driver is also different, 2, if the old hard disk is installed, the system program conflicts.

    Because of different computer configurations, the system installs different hardware drivers.

    3. There is no need to set up, if you want to use the old hard disk as a system disk. You only need to reinstall the system, and you can use it.

    Can be plugged into the machine. As long as you change the corresponding identifier "auto" to "none" in the BIOS, it will not affect your existing system.

    Although it is set to none, the operating system will recognize it when it enters the system.

    You can't make it clear, does the computer have a hard disk?

    If it is a computer without a hard disk, you need to consider whether the configuration of the old hard disk is exactly the same as that of this computer. As long as there is a hardware difference, the system needs to be reinstalled.

    If this computer has a hard disk, then, you need to enter the BIOS settings, set to dual hard disks, but pay attention to your hard disk boot order, be sure to correspond to the model of the hard disk, if the order is wrong, set the old hard disk to boot first, then your system boot will be black. Set the original hard disk of the computer to boot first before it can boot into the system normally. You will only be able to read data from both hard drives.

    The IDE is not discussed, and it is basically eliminated. If it's all sata, the age of the motherboard is close, and the achi of the new and old motherboards is the same, so you can use it directly. If the age of the motherboard is quite different, you need to inject the disk drive of the new motherboard with Skyiar on the old motherboard first.

    Answer: 1. SSD and HDD can be used together on the same computer.

    2. To clear the system in the old hard disk, just boot into the new system (solid state drive), and then find the old hard disk (you are counting it as a slave disk here), and format it. If you want to keep some of the data on the old hard drive, you can choose to just format the system disk of the old hard drive (the C drive of the old hard drive!!

    3. There is basically no impact on the speed of booting into the system, unless it is turned on after abnormal shutdown, the system disk self-test process will take a little longer.

    SSDs can be used in conjunction with HDDs, and cleaning up the contents of HDDs is simple, formatting or repartitioning can be achieved. The system is in the SSD, and if the reference program is also installed in the SSD, the HDD will not affect the system speed.

    You can add the data of the HDD and can format it for purge. Due to the SSD mounting system, boot is standard by solid state, and HDD will not slow down.

    By removing the hard disk and installing it on a normal computer, you can copy the data on the hard disk.

    Yes, it can be installed. Connect a hard drive data cable to the motherboard, then connect the other end to your hard drive. Then give the hard disk a power failure.

    The new computer may not have this IDE interface, you ** buy an IDE to SATA transfer excuse.

    First of all, you need to have a disk cable, then connect it to the disk and the motherboard, and you can boot it, but a motherboard can only connect one disk at the same time.
