But what about my subsidiary queries

Can you put it another way? I am not really too sure what it is that you are asking :wink:
jraju:
One more question: If suppose, one has the same operating system, say, win 7, could he be able to access the other hdd, if he is connecting with power and data cable in the same system as a additional hard disk.
If suppose, if he could access that drive, will the format could be done easily, by using format menu like you format d: e: f: etc.
would another power and data cable and mother board slot are enough.
Samson:
Yes, should be able to see the additional HDD and then use the normal tools to format it.

When it is at the intel sign is when the bios is checking the hardware, it hasnt even started trying to boot windows. So the windows install and drivers have no effect at this point.
Normally when the bios is locking up like that it is because of a bad setting, bad hardware or perhaps a bad cable. I had a new ssd drive I put into a older system and the bios would freeze up trying to detect it, so I found their was a firmware update for the ssd that fixed that problem and after putting the firmware on the drive the system was fine.
That is simply an example how it can be a number of different things. Normally I would say it is the hard drive, but since the drive can be put in another system and it is detected fine tells me the drive is ok.
So that means we need to check what else the bios is looking at and how the drive is plugged in.
Here is what I would do, take the drive out, turn on the system and go into the bios. There is normally a setting to hide the boot up logo and instead show what the bios is doing, that way you can see at what part it is stopping at when it freezes up. :wink:

Shane; my suggestion?
have him do a repair install with a startuprepair disk.
Version sensitive
Windows 7 will work for all versions vista as I remember
But, if he is using a custom computer, it may need toi install the Intel Drivers too
Startup repair first, in all cases here!
Samson:
As far as I am aware, the OP's original problem has been solved, and the thread title has been amended to "Solved".
@Jraju.... Perhaps you should start a new thread regarding imaging/ cloning if you have any problems.
