[coreboot] Re: Bios problem. Will not boot

[Ivan Ivanov]

Enkelena , If I am understanding it correctly, you have installed
Windows on this new HDD using another computer with another
motherboard. Windows is much more fragile to those "PC switches" than
Linux, and often the Windows users have to do a clean installation of
Windows when they have simply changed the motherboard to another type
(e.g. after the old one got broken) - either because it refuses to
boot at all or there are significant problems like the bluescreens.
So, I believe that your problem is caused by Windows, and if you will
simply reinstall Windows on this new HDD - while it is plugged into
the same coreboot computer you're planning to use it with - then your
problems will be resolved.
