I'm trying to switch hard drives with two of my laptops. I did the switch but the new one would not load.

What can I do to troubleshoot? When I power up with the new one in there, there is just a cursor blinking.

The laptops have the same base tray so I figured they would work


TIa.
 
yeah, they are both above windows 2000, but neither are thinkpads.

So, there really isn't anything I can do?

Side question......is there a great website where I can find old graphics drivers? The product website says there isn't one for my card anymore.
 
list the laptop specs and the vga adapter used. you could look up how to do a windows repair. installing windows on a laptop can be a bit hit and miss due to all the proprietary hardware. often the laptop manufacturer will have a custom version of windows for their laptops. as long as it will install though you can always install the drivers later
 
Windows 2000 and up need to have a repair install or maybe even a reinstall in order to work in a system with different hardware.
