Laptop Does Not Detect Replacement Hdd Toshiba Mk3021gas
My HDD was failing on my Toshiba satelite 2450-101,I managed to get a brand new unit (exactly the same model) HDD 2181 MK3021 GAS but it now will not detect the new harddrive when attempting to do a fresh XP instalation. On this model the BIOS settings cannot be changed or disabled. Any suggestions as what I can do? Toshiba support has not been very helpfull
Thanks
Paul
