Michael, I put the previous primary hd into the #2 position of the laptop drive bay. When I tried to boot I got a locked machine sitting at a light blue screen. When I took the software damaged drive out and booted from the new hd and Gutsy it came up fine. I did not change anything about the Gusty hd.
