I've got an IDE hard drive that seems fine but I wanted to get a clone of it on an SSD to replace it. I cloned the drive to the SSD, used an IDE to SATA adapter. The machine boots, it sees the drive as a 240gb ATA drive but the game never gets past the initial post screen, eventually it says "DISK BOOT FAILURE"
I've changed BIOS settings to make that drive the first boot, changed the IDE port on the motherboard to see if that was it. I re-cloned the drive without the SSD trim option to see if that was it. I just can't get the machine to run off of that drive.
More info: I'm running Target Terror Gold 1.38D. I tried to just restore from the a DVD copy I got online (not 100% sure it was actually 1.38D) It would run through the process but it never fully finished or got my new drive to a point where the game worked. I'm hoping to future proof it so I don't get stuck with a fully useless machine.
