    Have a Panasonic CF-30, which came with a Hitachi 80GB hard drive. I wanted to swap it with a Hitachi 200 GB hard drive. I formatted the 200 GB hard drive and used Norton Ghost 14.0 to clone it. I swapped the drives and downloaded Windows XP, hit F6 and installed the drivers from a floppy. After a restart the cursor jumps all over the screen. I did this same process twice and ended up with the same results. It also has a touch screen and I have the same problem. My question is: Did I do something wrong, is it just a BAD hard drive or was everything not downloaded?

    Yep, a little feedback on this type of post would be helpful for all. We would learn "yes it worked"; not to mention thanks or "no it didn't work", and we could continue to try to diagnose and solve.

    Mega, I think you got it right and hope that you keep trying to help.
