OK, I appear to have successfully transfered the data from my old drive to
the new drive. I can look at the new drive by connecting via USB, and it
has all the files. The problem is, when I install it, it hangs, I just get
a blinking bar in the upper left hand corner of my screen. The old drive
continues to work fine by the way, I re-install it to work with this
computer, so it's the drive, not the computer. I thought the driver may be
an issue but it looks like it has a driver installed and it's working fine.
Is it possible that I'm screwing up by trying to use the USB connection
instead of an IDE cable? I've done all this on PCs, this is my first
laptop HD swap, in case you suspected. Any ideas?
I think it is missing the Master Boot Record (MBR). Cloning programs
should write this automatically, however other backups programs (I
have experience with Ghost and True Image) may need to be told to
write the MBR as a specific operation when wring to the new drive.
