If you are struggling with it, and take your drive out and swap it for the other one I can come over and we can try and sort it.
If you are struggling with it, or if the hard drive is an internal one (doesn't come out via a slot) then I could probably strip the laptop and swap the drives etc etc for you one evening. (I am a hardware engineer after all - lol)
What make of laptop is it ? | PM (being) sent
