Hi, i swapped a harddrive from a Toshiba mk1237gsX into s hp2000... whn it gets to the windows loading page, the blue screen pops up and the lappy restarts. From previous posts i understand that it doesnt work because the OS is somehow mother board specific.. What must i do to get the HP running? the old harddrive got the 301 and 303 error..

Swap them back.

You can't do this (easily) with Windows as each HDD is given a GUID at installation and drive initialisation.
Each installation is also motherboard specific.

You will need to buy a Windows Retail Installation kit if you were not provided with an OEM recovery media set for the HP.
