I have installed a new hard drive on to my hp laptop. I have this laptop http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc [...] R1002_USEN and i have installed the hard drive like this http://newmodeus.com/shop/index.ph [...] &chapter=0 After i have installed the drive it won't boot windows vista but when i take it out it works find. I went to the startup recovery and it says that windows failed to start and that the proper drive is unaccessible.

Why did you replace the hard drive? and did you either clone your old drive, or install windows on the new one?

When you take the drive out it works fine... as in you put in the old one? Little more detail will help.

Sorry no it's a second hard drive. so when i take the second hard drive out it boots fine

Can you get into the bios to set boot priority? Seems the new drive is getting in above the other in boot order.

yes i but the boot order is usb floopy notebook hard disk .........usb hard disk internal network adapter.

Check that the jumpers are set right.

where do i go to check jumpers
