Hi Pic,
Thanks for advice and sorry for the late response.
I did double check the connection of the harddrive back into the laptop. I also thought of the possibility of the harddrive not being recognized because of the capacity but when checking it in a hotdrive, it was was recognized either(USB2.0 connecting to hubbies desktop) --> XP recognizes the new hardware when pugged into USB but drive is not displayed e.g. E/F(can't remember offhand).
I have deided to send it back and let them test it. I've heard there is a masive failure rate on HD due to many manufacturers not doing quality control to reduce costs and subsequently acepting the return for replacement.
Hope I've done the right thing.
Regards,
Z
