I did exactly the same thing to try to get a new P-II motherboard up
and running.  The IDE disk works quite well in a portable, but refused
to boot at all with "no operating system found" on the desktop.  The
problem turned out to be cured by a BIOS ide disk setting
LB<something>.  I assume its a contraction for
Logical-Block-<mangling>.  Toggling it allowed the two machines to see
the same information on the disk.

A second problem on one of the IDE's I dug up was that it also needed
the advanced IDE I/O features turned off in the bios.  Gotta love
these "standards".

Perhaps your problem is related?
