Did you do this: open laptop take out old hd attach old hd to desktop and make drive image attach new hd to desktop and copy drive image to new hd put new hd in laptop
And now it doesnt work? How is a pcmcia hd card involved if you are booting from a 3.5 hd? Does is freeze if the pcmcia card is IN when you boot? if it is, take the card out and/or disable it on bootup.
