What motherboard was a hard drive in?
Hi, I understand your situation. You're looking to determine which motherboard previously housed which hard drive, along with identifying the CPU model. Since you're using Windows 7 and have multiple drives, you might need to check installed drivers or registry entries for clues. You could also search for BIOS/UEFI settings that reference hardware configurations. Let me know if you'd like guidance on those steps!
Consider attempting to power on the device via another computer to check the installed chipset drivers. If it fails, switch to a Ubuntu live USB or similar, back up your files onto an external storage, and then reinstall Windows.
Not sure if this approach would be effective. Connecting the drive as a dual HD might help, but you’d need to use Device Manager to check the second drive’s details. Then look at the drivers and CPU information for that specific HD. You’d have to match the CPU type with the correct driver settings. It seems uncertain whether this will work as planned.
Sorry, but it might be possible because the second drive is used for Windows installation too.
