I'm pretty sure the hard drive is fried but need advice... It will turn on but after the dell screen all i get is an I/O error invalid disk replace and press any key. I tried taking the hard drive out of my toshiba that I know is good and installing it in the dell maybe i'm doing something worng cause even with the toshiba's hard drive i still get the same msg. I am able to enter the boot menu and have tried both booting from the internal drive and from a vista cd i have but either way still get the same error with both hard drives. Any advice would help
thanks
