I knew it would run a 32 bit version of Windows, but I thought it would need a different version of the Linux kernel.

My old hard drive is 80 GB and it has Windows XP on the first partition. The new hard drive is 250 GB and has Vista with all the drivers for the new hardware. I need to run the new hard drive. I am already using the hard drive adapter mentioned in that article. My laptop quit a couple weeks ago. I'm running the laptop hard drive in an old (slow) Dell desktop while I wait for the new laptop to arrive. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
