There are only two kinds for the MAJORITY of laptops use either IDE or SATA. Does the computer recognise the hard drive in the bios?
Yes if they are both either IDE or Sata.
If one laptop has IDE drive and the other laptop has serial drive (SATA) , the answer is no.
What model of HP and Dell laptops. I could pin point the correct answer.
