Hey, i have an really old laptop that the harddrive crashed on, just loaded into windows repair and sat there for hours and nothing happend. I want to use this laptop as a "server" for my teamspeak to keep my machine safe, as of now only a few are given the information to join since it's on the main machine.
But back to the laptop, it's nothing good or anything but it will work fine just to host a ts server. since the harddrive is screwed i took another harddrive from another old computer with a busted fan and that drive has windows 7 installed but when that drive goes into the laptop and you boot up it will go through the normal then it will start looking for windows file like if you booted a new installation but then the computer shuts down and restarts and will do so until power cable and battery are removed. Is there any way i can fix this? It will not recognize the bought windows 7 cd to old to boot with my usb drives i have windows vista and xp boot installed on.
is there hope or should i just go out and buy a new cheap computer?
