Sonic Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Get a CD of Windows XP from a friend and use license from your sticker, go to www.hp.com to get all drivers updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinbytes Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 You should be able to use your existing install disk and license no problem. I do this for a living and have no problems using a hard drive from anywhere on any system whether it be DELL, IBM, HP, or any other brand name or clone.What messages are you getting if any? What exactly happens? Are you able to boot from CD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
