[QUOTE="Rozesky2, post: 320398, member: 28937"] @boramudar no it doesnt have UEFI...I wish it did that would be an easy fix then ..but it is a puzzle that is for sure. I just took the new hd and put it in an older laptop I have a started the win 7 install. It sees the hard drive and if I wanted to I could continue with the install of win 7 on the hard drive. Well at this point I think I will just keep the hd for an extra so I will do that and then put it in the toshiba laptop to see if by some weird luck it will see it...if it does not and I have time (Christmas Eve you know ) I will go and buy another brand like seagate to try in the computer... BUT the older 160 g hd it does see is WD Thanks to everyone for hanging in there to help me...get comments good team work I suppose the cmos battery could be bad or faulty?...but I had a crazy thought since I already had the hd out of the compaq laptop I used for my gandkids here at home I would try it in the toshiba laptop...this hd is a hitachi...sata 3 well it just recognized it in the bios So maybe a new seagate or some other brand of HD would work...this is really odd.
