Hi Paul,

Wondering if you could help with start up question.  Put in the new hard drive.   I've read all sorts of literature but how do I start the computer up with new hard drive?  Windows is gone so how do I boot up so I can get the Windows that came with the Lap Top originally back onto the new hard drive so this thing will boot up?

Kind of a catch 22.

Any insight/direction will be appreciated.

Thanks

Tim
