The first 2 screens come up then it goes to a reverse video message something about chash and a bunch of numbers. When I
used the SATA test cables with the new hard drive I get the same ticking sound as the origional. Some one thought it might be the power supply but its a battery powered laptop. Back to trouble shooting or may be its time to replace this 5 year old HP G-60t-200.<br></span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 18.6667px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br><span></span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 18.6667px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span>Gordon</span></div><div style="display: block;" class="yahoo_quoted"> <br> <br> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica,

I have replaced hundreds of hard drives over the years and none have
ever given me trouble. There are some specific security setups that
read disk/device serial number, however, if you were in such a
situation: 1. transferring firmware would not help resolve the
serial number change and 2. I doubt you would have presented this
question to the group as you would be aware of the answer already.<br clear="none">

In most cases, especially running Linux, you can pop in a new drive
and start installing new software immediately.<br clear="none">

As an aside, at the enterprise level I have updated disk firmware on
HP hardware for various reasons, mostly due to poor performance or
increased visibility and reporting on hardware health.<br clear="none">

Hope this helps. <br clear="none">

Just got a new Hard Drive for my HP G60t-200 Lap top. Will the
new Hard Drive's Firmware need to be transfered? The new Hard
Drive model number is: WD1600-BEVT- 60ZCT10. Same Model as
origional Hard Drive<br clear="none">
