HIYA-

I got a HP laptop that had a DEAD harddrive...

figured I'd throw in this extra 10-20 gig HD I had to see what was up...

using the supplied system restore disks (4).. it looks as if the origianl HD must have had some sort of system restore volume/partion that these DISKS look for.

Anyone know more about this..and how to by pass it?..ot set a HD like the original was again?

thanks
