What a remarkably ill thought and ignorant reply.
Doesnt matter a whit WHOSE HD hes upgrading with. He paid for the OS
when he purchased the laptop (thats what the license sticker on the bottom
of the unit is all about!) and at the least Toshiba should provide him
with a recovery CD that will work with any HD.
To the OP, the restore CD you have will work with any HD. As to getting a
proper XP CD, its not going to happen, but blame M$ for that, not
Toshiba.
