The point has been made before in this thread, but you need to change
the way the NEW machine accesses the drive FROM LBA to CHS BEFORE you
install.
Your new system supports LBA. The old one doesn't, and its view of the
disk is very different. You must ensure that the disk "looks right"
before installation.
CHS addressing started to be a problem as soon as disks stopped actually
having a fixed number of sectors per track. IDE drives circumvented it
by lying to the BIOS about what they looked like. If you are really
unlucky, you will have to choose a compatible pair of lies.
So I've tried disabling LBA mode for that HDD, but the results are the
same: "missing operating system"
Did you also reinstall after that?
Of course.
