[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 633773, member: 176256"] Sorry, hoist by the petard of not providing enough information. OS is Windows XP, probably only SP2, and the password is the one you have to supply to sign on in XP, not a bios one. The problem with putting the hard disk into another laptop is that XP doesn't like too many changes in hardware at once. I believe that it will only handle 2 or 3 at time, such as memory increase, hard disk size, motherboard, video chip etc. I have tried this before and it refused to boot. [/QUOTE]
