Hello there.
Recently, I purchased a brand new gaming rig over the internet. However, during transit, the USPS caused some damage. Namely, to the hard drive. And yes I am certain it's an issue with the hard drive.
Before anyone tells me to "talk to seller" or "talk to the postal service" I'm already in the process of doing that, I just want advice on this topic.
However, in worst case scenario, would it be possible to install my (relatively new, a year old, but used) HDD from my other desktop? It's 1 TB with Windows 7 installed, but I'm a little worried it wouldn't work due to driver issues/hardware/etc (I'm a pretty big software geek, but my hardware knowledge is quite limited)
So, all I want to ask is, what would be the complications and process of installing my used hard drive?
Is it simply plug-in and re-adapt, or would I have to do some reformatting, etc? Any advice you guys can give is highly appreciated. Thanks.
