Computer Question.

I have an old Panasonic Toughbook laptop, that runs Win 98, but the hard drive is very small, 1.25 GB. I have a 'scrap' Sony Vaio also ran Win98 and the hard drive is 4.3GB, I want to swap the hard drives, but the 'new' disk is not recognised on the toughbook.

I don't have a Win 98 disk. I have Sony recovery disk, and Panasonic drivers, bios etc.

Is it possible to swap my HD's or will I need a Win98 disk?

Thanks for that Scott, but it looks like the bigger Hd I'm trying to install hasn't got Win98 on it any longer. Trying to source a copy of that now
