I just switched out my old hard drive and ram from my laptop for an upgrade but now my screen is black. When I power it up the power light comes on and you can hear the drive starting to spin but that as far as it goes. When I insert a disk it will try to read it but then gives up. It does all this while maintaining a black screen PLEASE HELP!!!

Jump to PostYou haven't said anything about what's on the new hard drive for booting/Windows purposes and how it got there.
So I presume the disk you're inserting is a Windows DVD and you want to do a fresah install.
I think we need a lot more info from you …
Jump to PostThe new hard drive has no boot sector. I do not know how to resolve this.
