My computer is not loading up when I turn it on. When I put my hard drive in another computer, it works. BUT when I put another hard drive into my computer, it also works. This is puzzling, any suggestions. Thanks

With the bootable drive, check your system hardware and set if your ide controllers are working.... (primary) would be most important.
