Question

Hard Drive Died

I backed up all my files on a external HDD, but now that it died, I have a spare HDD to use and was wondering if Windows will work on the new HDD? P.S. The XP cd is OEM.

Re: Hard Drive Died

it should, just hook the HD up and boot from the CD and install XP.
I don't see why it would not work, it is THE SAME computer overall.

Re: Hard Drive Died

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work, either.
