Long story short, took a harddrive from an HP laptop with Win7 already on it and put it into a dell (latitude 3521) laptop that had a failed drive with Win8. Installed all the drivers from dell's site but I can't get graphics to work.

I believe it's just the Intel HD4000 graphics, but device manager is telling me the display adapter "device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (code 12)"

According to the error from MS, it's a resource conflict. And the only solution I can find says to locate the conflict and remove it. Well duh!

I've checked in system information (msinfo32) and the Intel HD Graphics is using IRQ 7 and nothing else appears to use 7.

I'm thinking previous AMD drivers are causing the issue, but I've tried uninstalling Catalyst twice now yet it still lists under Programs and Features.

At this point I'm wondering if it'd be easier wiping the drive and starting from scratch with a fresh install.

Btw, it's an Intel 2117U 1.8GHz

With windows you can't easily transfer from one motherboard to another and expect it to work properly. You're lucky it booted at all. You should reinstall.

Pfffft. I've put my hard drive in another computer and booted just fine.

Keyword was expect. I didn't say impossible Many times I've tried it across many OSes it's BSODed. Tho windows 7/8 seem to have gotten a lot better at dealing with it.

This is actually relevant to a question I currently have. A computer I have recently died (after not being used for seven months or so), and it has some important information on it. I took the hard drive out, and I am wondering if I can use another functioning computer to get the data needed off of it. Maybe not looking to boot from that drive, but the computer I thinking of runs a different operating system, etc. Anyone have any advice on this?

Sorry to detract from the topic of this thread; this seems like an appropriate place to put it.

If memory serves, it takes Windows aaaaaageees to open the user folder of a different installation. No idea why. It just sits there with a green bar slowly filling up when you double click. I've booted from another HDD and used the PC just fine as I said.

You can just run your Win 7 setup disk, do an upgrade or reinstall, umm forgot how it goes but basically you keep all folders, it shoves stuff into a folder called windows.old and you have a fresh installation with access to drivers and data still on the drive, no need to format unless you have a backup of all data anyway...

Hmm... While I'm strongly resistant to saying this (mostly because I hate it when people suggest that to me - I usually feel like saying, "well DUH if I was going to reinstall I wouldn't have posted here"), it would probably be easier to reinstall. Unfortunately I have 0 experience with solving IRQ conflicts. As bitJericho said, you're lucky it booted at all.

True dat.

Yeah, BSODs are normal when moving boot HDDs between computers. Win7 is better, but far from perfect.

I think the last time I've had to worry about IRQ conflicts was on an old socket 5 motherboard. I thought Windows had resolved this stuff ages ago.

I got one more thing to try then I'll just reformat. There's nothing on the drive I need, was just trying to save time by using the existing install from an old drive. Some time saver eh?


Well I just remembered why I didn't do a new install to begin with. CD-rom doesn't work in this stupid laptop! And I can't get it to boot from usb either.

There is actually a tool on the Windows website to create an install package onto a USB stick...

You can create a partition, place the setup files on that partition (copy paste off an ISO or network share), run the setup files, and you can then reinstall on the C drive cleanly. Once it's installed, you can delete your setup partition and extend the c drive. Uh... and don't mess up If your usb/cd won't boot, you may want to leave the setup partition just in case. I bet there's a guide out there that you could even make that partition bootable.

Migration tools are different than plugging in a hard drive from a completely different PC and expecting it to boot.

I've upgraded Windows before by using a cdrom on another computer as a network share drive.

Laptop tried doing a pxe boot yesterday... That could be a possible option. But I think BJ (can i call you BJ bitJerico?) has the best option.

I didn't know you could that. That's pretty cool. I mean, I guess it's kind of a custom recovery partition.

I prefer Jer for short.

Indeed, but it does require booting to windows to run the installer, which makes it not quite as useful as you'd think. I seem to recall it only allowing an upgrade too, but that might have been vista.

Actually, just use F8 on your old install during boot, then use command prompt to activate the install partition...

Forgot the name of the tool lol 😁 even though I just used it a few days ago ... Need sleep...
