You'll still have the same hardware issues or bad CD.
My feelings on this? DON'T DO IT. Laptops are twitchy things that it's best to leave working units working and fix busted ones.
Too bad you weren't my neighbor. We'd clone that drive...
Can you find a KNOPPIX CD to see if you can boot that? (Hint: read google.com about KNOPPIX)

Hi, I just got my new hard drive today and I'm having some problems.
I took the old drive out and put in the new one. Now I turn on my computer with the System Restore CD in, but it doesnt go into System Restore... instead it says this:
First it says:
"Initializing MBA. Press Ctrl+Alt+b to configure...
Then goes to this screen:
"Argon PXE Boot Agent v2.01 (BIOS Integrated)
(C) Copyright 2002 Agon Technology Corporation
(C) Copryight 2000 3Com Corpororation
All rights reserved.
Pre-boot eXecution Environment (PXE)
(C) Copyright 1999 Intel Corporation
All rights reserved."
Then adds this under it:
"PXE-E61 Media test failure, check cable"
Then finally goes to this screen:
"Operating System not found"
Anybody know what I'm doing wrong and how I can get it to do the System Restore?
Thanks.
