I own two Packard Bell laptops, one an Easynote TM80 and the other an Easynote TM81. The hard drive in the tm80 has crashed, but I now need to move the HDD from the TM81 over to the TM80.
The TM81 hard drive has Windows 7 on it.
What do I need to do to facilitate the move?
 
Solution
You're going to need to reinstall Windows. Backup any pertinent data, insert the drive into the one that failed, and reinstall Windows. Transfer the data back onto the drive.
