Knoppix not showing XP hard drive on laptop
I have a dead Compaq laptop with WinXP SP2 that won't power up or do anything. No lights, nothing. Battery and power supply are good. So I took the hard drive out of that and put it in an older Dell laptop but it wouldn't boot up. So then I used the Knoppix 4.0 CD in the Dell to boot up, but when I get into Knoppix it only shows the CD ROM drive and floppy drive, but no HD. Does this mean the HD is shot? (It shows up in the BIOS).
I have to use "failsafe" to get knoppix to load on the Dell, if that means anything.
