Two Identical Laptops - One Harddrive - boots one...not the other...
I have a Dell e1705 with 1.83GHz. I recently purchased another e1705 with 2.00GHz. I pulled the hard drive and popped it into the "new" e1705.
It starts up and the Dell logo pops up. It goes to a screen stating "loading Windows files" with a status bar. Then, it goes black and returns to the Dell logo, and the cycle starts again. Just two screens. Over and over. It does this forever, until I do a hard shut down. Both are running A10 bios...
If it matters, the "new" was running Ubuntu just fine when I purchased it.
Any ideas why the same hard drive can boot one unit and not the other?
