[QUOTE="Rozesky2, post: 320382, member: 28937"] @Boramubar....I did do the format of the new hd , it did not recognize in the laptop. So I reset to the default bios settings for a second time. Removed the battery and power cord, waited 5 seconds and pressed the power button. Put everything back together and check the bios for the hd ..it still says none. Now at this point I would say maybe the motherboard controller in the laptop is bad..BUT I again put in the 160 g older hd with win xp on it the the bios immediately recognized it....it also is a WD hd. I am now reading what seagate has to say on their website for me to try ...the only thing that might apply is the make a seatools for dos and boot from it but the hard drive is good ..now my desktop finds it just fine.
