Ok, I still need help with the hard drive. The one from the laptop doesn't work in my UBS enclosure, and the one from my enclosure doesn't work in the laptop. :( Could it be that I need a certain hard drive to work in the laptop? It has all the pins my newer one has...

I don't think it'll make a difference, I put a DOS boot floppy in, and it doesn't even try it when the hard drive from my enclosure is plugged in, but then it works when I unplug it. Worth a shot though, I'll go try it.

It still isn't working, I even resorted to hotswapping the hard drives. Is there any difference between the hard drives that would cause this?
