How do I move my old hard drive to another computer and
still use it as the boot drive. My HD contains Win 2000.
My new computer can see my old hard drive but when it
boots it gives me the blue "error" screen. Please help.

Unless the new motherboard is virtually identical to the old one
(same chipset, IDE controllers, etc), you'll most likely need to
perform a repair (a.k.a. in-place upgrade) installation, at the very
least (and don't forget to reinstall any service packs and subsequent
hot fixes):
