The hardware is different. You can't just remove a drive from one model of machine, put it into a different one, and expect it to work. You could boot to the CD and run a repair of the OS, that would install the proper drivers for that hardware.

OK, but I have another Windows 2000 Professional Hard Drive (I have 4 hard drives from my 8100, two with XP Pro and two with W2K Pro), and the other 3 did not have any problems, to include the other W2K Professional. The appropriate drivers were installed, and when I put the three drives back in the 8100 the drivers were installed also. Just the one drive do I get this error with it.
