[QUOTE="Rozesky2, post: 320408, member: 28937"] So for everyone...here is what I have found out ..in the toshiba satellite laptop l655d 1. I think the orginal HD is toast. 2. the toshiba bios will recognize an older 160 g wd with win xp on it. 3. the toshiba bios will recognize an hitachi HD sata 3 with win 7 from a compaq. 4 the toshiba bios will not see either of 2 WD 500 gig sata 3 hds. It say none when I put them in and check the bios. 5. So for one last thing to check I am putting win 7 on one of the new WD hds and trying it. if that doesnt work I will buy a new other brand of hd to try. So that sums up everything so far ...I think...it is at least narrowed down to why doesnt the laptop bios see the new hds when I put the one in another computer and I am putting win 7 on it now [/QUOTE]
