Guest Simon Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Just installed a 5400 rpm Internal HDD for a failing 4200 rpm. All went well via Norton Ghost 2003. My question is should I search for a new driver for the new HDD as my system is about 3.5 years old or since all is well just leave it be ?

Drives don't need drivers. Controllers do. If it's the same controller, i.e. you're replacing an IDE drive, then it should be fine. -- Rock [MS-MVP User/Shell]

One generally never needs a new controller hardware when adding a new HDD. -- http://www.bootdisk.com/
