Greatful for any help.
Machine has not been used for years because it had problems and said nephew got himself a lappy,I was thinking of pulling the hard disk and sticking in a new formated one,but being a store bought puter I'm not sure if it will allow this,is there anything propriety to HP machines tha I should know about?
