Computer Repairing Question
Here's my quandry - wondering if anyone has any thoughts before I just decide it's not worth the time it's taking and take it Best Buy and let the pimple-faces fix it:
So I decided to fix my old laptop instead of buy a new one. Went out and bought a 160gb SATA HD (all HD's in this machine are SATA). Installed it physically in bay 1. Formatted the HD and partitioned it using Western Digital's tools. Went and put in the Windows disc (because I no longer have the recovery partition) and I got a message about Windows not recognizing any HD's attached.
So my question I guess is - is this because the SATA drivers were on the old-HD that is toast now? And if this is the case and I need to reinstall them - to what directory do I copy them after downloading them? I don't have a floppy-drive, so I guess I'm stuck either DLing them to a USB stick or to a CD and burning them off of that.
