Hi,
I have upragraded the hard drive in my HP dv6000. Unforunately, XP is reporting that no hard drive is found and 7 that It can't install on HDD. I tried Ubuntu too, but the same error occured. In my Toshiba a200-satellite HDD works great without any problems.
In HP it reports a wrong MGR table.
I've been looking for drivers for HDD, but I found nothing, so I do't know if it requires some extra formatting or something, I don't want to screw something up.
I'm trying to solve this so long time
I really appreciate your help.

Re: Hitachi hard drive MBR specific problem
I tried to do something on my own.
I run Testdisk on Toshiba, selected PC/Intel type,
01
Then I tried to repair MFT. Unsuccessfully.
03
I tried to write new MBR table,
02
And after reboot this occured.
04
Then I swap to HP and booted W7. I clicked the notice
05, 06
I continued I clicked to Create new space and the error has showed
07
So I opened console and typed CHKDSK.
08
I get the HDD shortly back to Toshiba where I created partition in W7 setup.
09
I swapped back, no changes.
10
Again tried to create new space but error popped up again.
