So last night I built my PC.
I though I could just plug the SATA cable in using my old hard drive from my last PC and it would be all cool, well that did not work.
Is there anyway I can get windows off my Hard Drive and reinstall it back on? I really dont want to go and spend $100 on windows 8!
Thanks!

Do you have the original disk you used to install windows on your old hard drive?

It came pre-installed with my PC.

Th OS gets rooted to the motherboard, so it is either get it via the internet or go and get a cheap copy off of ebay.
