I just bought a new internal hard drive for my HP Elite Book 8730w. I had a 160gb and was almost out of room and replaced it with a 320gb one.

The original hd was a seagate momentus 7200.2 http://www.seagate.c...ntus_7200_2.pdf See link for pdf specs of it it is ST9160823AS.

The drive I am attempting to replace it with is a Western Digital drive. Model WD3200BEKT-00F3T0.

I bought a apricorn EZ Gig II to clone the drives and it said it ran properly and everything is okay with it. I plugged it in after it completed and it looked like everything was there.

I swapped the drives. It appears that the motheboard posts and then all I get is a "_" white blinking underscore.

Please help!!!
