Are you saying you've taken a hard drive from and AMD machine and installed it into an Intel and vice versa?

Why?

If this is the case, its not the processor - its the motherboard (and any other hardware that's different). You're always likely to run into problems if you move hard drive with operating system from one motherboard to a different type.

If you want to permanently move the drive, there are various preparations you can make before the move to improve its chances of success:-
