Vista? Which version? PM me which version you have.

Is your original drive toast? Best bet would be to use a drive clone (Clonezilla for free).

If drive is toast and you only have the new drive I would recommend using a disk partition manager and confirm that the disk was made active. A good manager would be able to fix the MBR if that is what the problem is.

2 For Vista - WHY!!!!

Load Windows 7 and you'll be so much happier. If the laptop runs OK and has decent specs for Vista it will run better and easier on 7.
