Signal Boost: all ur base r belong to love

jjhunter is hosting a love meme this weekend. If you or someone you know could use some love, nominate them! Anonymous nominations and comments are accepted (though screened at first). It's a great way to brighten someone's day (or have your day brightened a little). jjhunter will be unscreening comments until Sunday, September 16th, 2:00 PM EST. Comments made after that will be left unscreened. I encourage you all to go and share a little love. :)

Friendsourcing: Computer Tech assistance?

Question for my computer savvy friends: Old laptop (hp dv9000 series). Wouldn't boot (lights would flash and then nothing). Determined it was the hard drive when dad put hard drive in another computer and it did the same thing. Replaced hard drive, and went to install Windows on it, but installer is detecting hard drive. Checked bios, bios is not detecting new hard drive.

One problem may be that the drive is bigger than the original specs allowed. I've read that I can do a dynamic drive overlay, but am having some difficulty figuring that one out.

I'm not at all sure what to do next. Any ideas on where to look for a solution would be appreciated.
