Re: Laptop hard drive from PC copy works?



No, they don't have the same devices/components and any drivers installed will not be the proper ones for the laptop. If you don't have the Install disks for the laptop you can get the proper drivers at:

My Toshiba laptop hard drive failed. Formatted a new drive bootable and all files including WinXP Professional from my PC using Western Digital Lifeguard Tools and installed completed drive into my laptop but it will not startup, not even Safe Mode. Are hard drives formatted and bootable from PC compatible with running Laptops?
