My hard drive seems to be broken and will not boot. It's OS is windows XP. Would it be possible to take the hard drive out of my laptop and place it in the desktop? It's had windows 7 already downloaded on it. I've checked and all the ports are the same so it fits in fine. Just curious will it boot? If not what can I do to make it boot? I understand I will have to download new drivers.
I've tried to boot it and it comes up with an error but seems that it is compatible with the desktop as it begins to boot as it would on the laptop until it freezes and tries to reboot itself automatically.
