My first Toshiba Satellite laptop won’t boot. The power light & fan switch on but the screen stays blank. It was my only computer & I didn’t have time to wait for it to be serviced & I thought it might be the motherboard, so I bought another. They don’t make that model anymore, so I bought a low-end new Satellite, but it has Windows Vista. Can I get the XP from the old laptop? If I can do that, can I put the old hard drive in the new comp to retrieve the programs that were installed? Both computers have 2 512m ram, so how do I accomplish getting the info from the old computer? It seems to make sense to me that I can do this, but I’m afraid of frying the new laptop so I need the advice of people who really know what they’re doing. Plus, do you have any idea what might be wrong with the original laptop? Are there any simple ways for me to try to diagnose the problem myself? Is there diagnostic software available so that I could connect the new to the old & use it to diagnose the problem?
