Installing new hard drive
I had to replace my Dell Inspiron M5010 hard drive, it is an exact match to the old one. I keep getting a blue screen with the code STOP: 0x0000007B. I know I have to partition and format the hard drive but I am lost. Last time I had a warrenty and was able to send it in for a hard drive replacement, but can't afford to do it now so decided to do it myself. I tried installing the reinstallation CD but then get the blue screen. I can not do the CHKDSK /F because I can not get to the F8 screen or prompt command. The hard drive is located on Drive F. Praying someone can help me with this.
