original hard drive failed, windows cannot configure to run on the new
so the original hard drive for my eMachines laptop faailed recently. I went to best buy and bought a new one, it is the exact same hard drive aside from being 320 Gig rather than 250 which is what came with the computer originally. I have tried 2 seperate sets of recovery discs, one that i burned myself and one straight from eMachines customer support. The poroblem i am encountering is that the eRovery process run through with no problems, but when the system reboots to configure windows it goes to the setup is starting services screen and then an error comes up and says "Setup cannot configure windows to run on this computer's hardware. to install windows on this computer restart the installation process". i have tried to install it at least 6 times.
