I purchased a replacement hard drive for my Dell Latitude Cpx, because the 6G was just to small for what I needed. When I initially got the disk in I installed the drive, partitioned, and installed the OS.
I don't know why I did this because I needed information off of the original drive. So I reinstalled the old drive booted it up moved my information to a transfer medium. After reinstalling the new hard drive back in the computer now it isnt recongnized by the bios, I'm afriad I left the battery installed when I reinstalled the new HDD. Is there any way of telling if its fried or not? After not being able to get it to recongnize the new hard drive I reinstalled the old one, and it works fine. I'm taking from this that the new drive is fried.
I can't believe I made such a stupid mistake. I don't guess I'm lucky that the drive has a fuse in it. Any suggestions?
