Glad to help! By the way, once I even encountered a rare case - with Windows XP - where simply upgrading the proprietary UEFI caused Windows to bluescreen :P maybe that could've been fixed, but I didn't have Internet to look up the solution for this problem so had to reinstall XP. Luckily that has never happened to me with a more modern Windows like 7, and currently I prefer to run Windows in a virtual machine: aside from a few unusual tasks where a direct access is really required -- like upgrading the firmware of MicroSD card reader or resetting the controller of USB flash drive with a windows-only proprietary tool to get it working -- this Windows virtual machine is sufficient for the majority of tasks at almost-native performance.
Best regards, Ivan

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.

I am using lenovo thinkpad x230. It has Linux on its ssd, Debian to be precise.
You are saying that just because the new hdd has windows, its not booting on it?

I think you'll need to reinstall your Windows in any case, especially if you've installed it using another PC. This is not a coreboot problem, more like a Windows problem, and going back from glorious opensource coreboot to heretical proprietary UEFI won't fix the things ;-) Also, you haven't even told us what coreboot-supported computer you are using...
