Thanks for your immediate response Essex
When I am troubleshooting the HDD that won't boot, the other HDD isn't connected [as to isolate the case].
Though while researching how to overcome this challenge, the other HDD is connected.
The OS of the HDD that won't boot is Win 7, 32b. Same with the other HDD.

Download the following three programmes to your desktop :
1. Rufus
For 32bit systems
2. Windows 7 RC
3. Farbar Recovery Scan Tool
Insert the USB stick Then run Rufus
Select the ISO file on the desktop via the ISO icon.
Press Start Burn
Then copy FRST to the same USB
Insert the USB into the sick computer and start the computer. First ensuring that the system is set to boot from USB
Note: If you are not sure how to do that follow the instructions Here
When you reboot you will see this although yours will say windows 7.
Click repair my computer

Select your operating system

Select Command prompt

At the command prompt type the following :
notepad and press Enter.
The notepad opens. Under File menu select Open.
Select "Computer" and find your flash drive letter and close the notepad.
In the command window type e:\frst.exe and press Enter
Note: Replace letter e with the drive letter of your flash drive.
The tool will start to run.
When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
Press Scan button.
It will make a log (FRST.txt) on the flash drive. Please copy and paste it to your reply.

Could you confirm that your BIOS is set to SATA rather than IDE

I did what you instructed, and here's the FRST report.
About the BIOS, yes, it is set to SATA [ahci].

I loaded the fixlist. Then I tried to boot the sick HDD. No go. It is showing the same error message.
Here is the fixlog report.

I am not exactly sure about the hardware specs. Though I used to do this often [switching towers with the same HDD] successfully.
I am not sure about the previous cpu, but this one 64bit compatible.
Will proceed to the next fix and will report the results.

I do not know if this is supposed to happen, but the reports nothing.
I tried it twice with the thought that I did it wrong the first time, though the results are the same.
Then afterwards, I tried booting the HDD, no change still.
