Replacing HDD in laptop : Problem

[gurujee]

My 5 year old hard disc almost died some days ago. Thats why i bought a new one Segate Momentus 500 gb from flipkart which has sata3 port where as my laptop config says
old hd was sata1. I had inquired about it in net and found out that sata3 is backward compatible.

I am a noob. I havent done it before. Following youtube, now i successfully replaced the old one with new one. But this comes when i boot the laptop. Please someone can say what i am doing wrong. I have searched and found it is some jumper thing which i cannot guess what to do. There is no jumper thing sent by flipkart. pls guide me.

check your boot device priority list.your laptop is trying to boot from lan.

Yes, you need to make your hard drive as first priority, DVD RW as 2nd and PXE as 3rd

Thanks all...now it is working after i boot from dvd drive and installed OS.

ANY TIPS what should I do with the dying old hard disc ? should I buy an enclosure and use that as external HDD till it die completely ?

Yeah you can do thaat and it would be preferable. But don't use it for important data.
