Hi all, looking for a bit of help with the below problem, grateful any assistance :
Am trying to transfer my mums hard drive with Windows 7 and all her stuff on it (even WoW - yes, I know...she's 62!). I tried to do this on the weekend, expecting that it would be fairly simple to just swap out my hard drive for hers, alas no.
I got the Windows 7 initial page up and then it tried to repair connection, to no avail.
After having a look around online the only answers I can come up with would be that I need to run the boot up from the Windows 7 dvd and then see where that goes... is this correct? Is there anything else I will need to do to get this booting and running from my mums hard drive?
Apologies for noobish question, I reach the limit of my tech knowledge as soon as we go further than replacing RAM!
cheers
