What does FDISK report when the drive is in the new system? Does it offer a choice for looking at the second drive?
Only one partition can be the boot partition or "active" partition.
Whenever a hard drive which contains Windows is moved to another computer the OS and Windows should be installed again.
Some drives have 2 "Master" settings.
Master with a slave present on the same channel and Master without a slave present on the same channel.
