Hello, is the Seagate momentus thin hard drive compatible with a pc? or is it only for the laptop? I tried checking to see if I was able to use it but it said that the computers hardware isn't compatible and I couldn't boot from it. If it isn't is there any way to check and see if the hd is working or not? Thank you

it is a sata drive, it should work as long as you plug it in properly

start it off as a secondary, and use a HDD program to scan it and maybe fix any issues with it
