Okay,

So I've recently updated my computer I won't go into full detail but:

- Upgraded Ram
- New motherboard
- 8x1000 GB Hard drives
- New computer case

Anyways, I put my Windows 7 HD back in my computer and now it fails to boot. It will start booting with the Windows 7 startup animation then flash a bsod quickly and start all over.

I ran the recovery and currently my PC doesn't want to boot to the CD any help?

It won't boot because you're using an installation that was for your old hardware configuration. You need to install it again.

It's because it's trying to run the new parts with the drivers for the old parts. You should have uninstalled them all before switching.

Try booting in safe mode and see if you can get rid of the old drivers from there. then install the new ones if you can get it to boot normally.

With that many hard drives you should be running a RAID array to make the most of them. Are you?
