hiya !!

i just bought a new computer and i was thinking of taking my old hard drive outta my old computer and putting it in the new one (saving on XP installation)

but when i do i get the Blue screen of death \<insert scary music here\>  
the screen mentions that i have a bad F sector in my hard drive and i should run a chkdsk.

now i have but when i go to scan my “F sector” it says it is fine.

(the hard drive works fine on other computers)

what should i do to rectify the situation…

thx for your time !
