Chosen Solution
I went through the process of putting a hard drive that already has multiple oss on it and switching out the hard drive. But now if I have the hard drive or the SSD in it turns on for the Toshiba logo and then promptly switches off. Fan wirrs on and then off. I can’t think of anything besides replacing the motherboard battery.
If the drive you swapped was from another laptop, it won’t boot, since it has specific hardware requirements written in each OS. So when it detects the different hardware, it’ll refuse to boot. (I learned this the hard way.)
