Ok, so I am building a PC for the first time and the assembly wasn’t too
bad. Every component is powering up and seems to be operating fine.
I also installed my 2.5" Hard drive from my broken laptop that runs
32bit Vista Home Premium. So after the motherboard posts when i first
started up, vista boots but is extremely sluggish.
I am a real novice when it comes to this sort of stuff, but i think the
problem is that the harddrive hasnt detected the new components. Aside
from the processor it still shows old hardware from the laptop like
memory and video card and doesnt even register the second hard drive
installed.
How can i get vista to recognize all the new hardware? The reason i did
this is because i wanted to get around buying another copy of vista if i
could. Any tips or suggestions?
Thanks,
Brandon
