    I'm not going to be helpful here I doubt. The laptop definitely has 2 drive bays?

    If only 1 Bay you'll have to get USB sata cable unless you don't mind starting from scratch, to clone your old hdd.

    Thanks mate!

    Did buy a converter sata to usb from one of those online Chinese places about 2 months ago. Finding it again is the issue.

    Not bothered about starting from scratch.

    Will likely do the boot drive thing. Thats the front runner at least.

    Thanks again!

    I know this problem. I've got a shed full of cables and now and again they come in handy which I keep trying to explain to my other half.

    If you start from scratch then usb is faster than dvd/cd at the actual install process. The microsoft usb utility thing is pretty good nowadays as well. It can stall at times but if it does then just leave it. It will get going again eventually.
