I had a Wester Digital HD 20 and I want to change for a Wester Digital HD 80 G. I conected it and windows started run but it said that it can not write into the disk....what can I do?I tried to change my hard drive but I can not install windows xp. what can I do?um partintion it and format the drive. is the drive good? hook it up making it a slave and see it you can check disk on it to make sure it is good. you have the drive set to master or slave?I tried to change my hard drive but I can not install windows xp. what can I do?first unless you have a RETAIL copy of windows you arent going to be installing anything.
second, you have to format the new drive.
third once done the best option you have is to try and CLONE the old HDD to the new HDD...
