Solve : Compaq Hard Disc Drives?

1.	Solve : Compaq Hard Disc Drives?
Answer» I have a Compaq Presario C300 RUNNING XP that has died on me( I can't boot it up as when it tries, the power light just flashes on and off). I also have a Compaq Presario A900 running Vista HOME Premium. Would it be possible to remove the hard drive from the C300 and use it in the A900? I GUESS not as the operating systems are different but I'm asking on the off-chance. Thanks for any advice.You can have the drive connected as long as the other one isn't but it will boot into what ever OS is on the drive. It should work. but xp looks at the differntce in the hardware. SORRY Sp was using spell checkNo. It probably will not boot properly on another machine. And you risk data loss/corruption by doing so... Have you DLoaded and ran the diagnostics on the OLD drive ? ? Their available Free from the drive manuf. site.
