So, the drive (the 6Y080L0)... are you saying that it works, you can access it and everything, you just can't boot from it? I'm still trying to figure that part out.

I've swapped hard drives many times with Windows 7 and I had no problem so far. With Windows XP, I've rarely been able to even make it to Windows, it generally crashes during loading with a BSOD for a 1/10th of a second.

When I put it into another system it doesn't even try to boot. I installed XP onto a different drive so I can at least access the files.
