My D600 hit the floor and died slowly there after. I have a D610 on the way. Would it be advisable to swap out the hard drives in order to narrow the problem to hard drive or something else?

if you dropped it and it didn't die immediately, odds are it was your hard drive. Are you trying to repair the 600?

Does the PC turn on? Does the BIOS get to the point where it is supposed to load the OS?

If so:

Will it load your OS off of an USB HDD? Find this in your CMOS Setup.

If so try it with that.

Overall we need more information about exactly what your computer is doing or not doing.

The new system has an OS installed. The broken machine will boot from a CD. With out the cd I get the message "If this is the first time you have seen this try rebooting.

I am wondering if I put the HD from the new machine into the broken system can the broken system hurt the new HD. Also if I put the HD from the broken machine , can it hurt the new machine?

If the old HD boots in the new machine I will be certain the problem is with the PC. Or if the HD from the new system boots in the old PC, I will be certain it is the HD.

The HD is easy change. One screw and it slides right out. Slide right in and put the one screw back. I just would like to know that is the problem. I am guessing i is too. I can just order another HD a OS and back to business. I prefer not to order another HD if that is not the problem. That is why the original question.

i'd get another hard drive, don't take the one out of your laptop that works.

The problem with changing the HDDs from one to the other is that you may need to reinstall the OS.

Luckily HDDs are pretty cheap. If you have to then swap 'em and see what happens but I'd recommend getting a new one if you can afford it.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
