Can I take my hard drive from my dead hp laptop and put it in my new dell laptop?

Only with a huge hammer.

You need to put the sharp end of it in the CD drive of the laptop and then wrench it open.

never mind....I'll buy an adapter or something at radioshack

Did you have to waste good Org space for that then? Just sayin' 'never mind'? It's disrespectful! I was giving good advice! I did not even get around telling you how to open the new laptop! You lout!

Everyday people waste space talking about sex on the org....who cares about sex.

blah blah blah...I'm better off getting advice from my pet monkey.

Good. Now I can go back to my thread. Mill.



Leave me alone!

I haven't done this with laptops before, but I'm guessing it should be fine as long as you reformat and reinstall the operating system. There are probably going to be drivers on there that may cause issues with different hardware, so starting with a clean slate would be best. If there are files on the hard drive you need, though, I would get an external HD case, put the HD in it, and transfer the files to another location until you can put them back on the reformatted drive.
