Recently, I took a 5 gig drive from a Toshiba laptop and put it into one of my 3400c laptops. Now I'm trying to load 8.5 but after initialization, the OS installation stops about halfway through with the note that the new hard drive can't be used. Then I verify it and the message is : Test done. Problems were found but Disk First Aid cannot repair them. Problem : Keys out of order, 4, 17.
This is with both standard and extended formats and with one or multiple partitions. Any thoughts?
I've copied the System Folder to the drive and tried to boot but that won't work. Should it? Or should I copy the whole CD and then try to boot. I'm wondering if there is some boot info on the old drive which wasn't formatted before the switch from windows. Is there another utility to use?
Thanks!
