I stil dont get it matty

It has to be specific IBM drive. So there is no way to access the regestrey?

steven what Matty means i think is to Clone your HDD  an reinstall a Fresh copy of windows  onto HDD

DvD Burners around $70 AUD now an thats a good one, there comming down with or before the introduction of Blu-Ray Drives

No not clone the drive hes going to need to format it, well he could backup the data... but he would want to start the XP installation where it copies over the files then when he connects it back to his own laptop it will start the XP install.

Sure, but wil you give me the $350?

You need to get a new one anyway, you wanna go on and use your laptop without floppy and cd-drive?

And indeed it's no where near $350, you can almost get a new lapop for that price

You can get the for under $100.

Smart, that would probably work.

I finnally understood what you meant matty, thanks!! After hell (installing 6 hp disks) I restored the hdd from a different pc... Guess where im posting this from now?

Your welcome.

Everything went fine for a few weeks. UNTILL. today i was on the same laptop and my mom by accident pulled out the cord. So i started the computer up (battery is dead hasnt worked in years) and got STOP 0x000000ED error, and a few other numbers. I know and searched about this, so called UNMOUNTABLE VOLUME. So is the only way to fix it, to do what i did before and make my dad not be able to use this laptop /his for a day? Switching hdd to the good pc then doing recovery disks. (The cdrom doesnt work on the bad laptop). Is there an easy way out? And why did this happen?
