Answer
Laptop hard disk drives (hdd) are generic. most are ide and very inter-compatible. replacing your working laptops hdd with your broken laptops hdd will work. operating systems on hdd such as windows store information about the hardware of the pc they are contained in, but automatically detect different hardware to a degree.
