Replacing a laptop HDD
Need to replace a HDD on an aging lappy... lol
quick Q, the current set up has one of those hidden partitions on the drive for system restore... (so i'm told)
If i replace it with a new drive, it wont have this..
can i just reinstall windows back onto this new drive using the original lappys key? (as long as i wipe the original drive?)
I'm guessing that i'd have to reinstall vis the dvd drive?
Also what about drivers etc? would i have to pull these off first
