Best Answer

There are only three reasons that I know of.

The first is: the hard-drive has to much memory for the computer to handle.

The second is: The hard-drive and/or your computer in infected with a virus.

The third is: The hard-drive is fairly new, while the computer is fairly old.

I hope these helped!
