I've just replaced a failed HD (250G) with a new drive (350G) on my Presario laptop w/Vista.
CHKDSK has given the new drive its blessing and a thumbs up. However, the bootup is sluggish and there is no access to the wireless. It shows the Services Event Notification as having problems.
A look at the services tab tells me that it's attempting to start, but just churns and churns. I'm hoping with the drive switch out completed, some simple tweaking might be in order.
What might I do now that the old drive has been replaced?

Install the drivers for the wireless. I would start with the original drivers that came with the laptop and update from there. See if things get better. If not it's time for more investigation.

What did you install on this new disk? Was it a rescue CD from Compaq or an OEM Windows installation CD?
Are there any hardware devices with errors? As tek says, at a minimum you don't have the drivers installed for the wireless hardware....
Allow me to clarify:
I place the cursor over the connection icon in the toolbar, it comes back with "Connection status unknown...the dependency service or group failed to start". Clicking on it (to connect to a network) says that Windows cannot find any networks. When I start Windows Wireless Service to possible remedy the problem, it tells me that Windows cannot resolve the problem. It would normally show ALL wireless networks in my area, mine having the strongest signal.
For what its worth, I did just clone the drive from the failing drive and am concerned it may have copied the settings.
Getting better and better...
Close inspections shows the DHCP Client, Net Driver HPZ12 and System Event Notifiaction Service all are not starting up. They're posted to start automatically.

Reason: adding service tabs areas not starting up

Don't know what you used to clone the disk but normally it does exactly what it says, copies everything.
UNLESS the source disk had some type of read errors..... Should we assume you did the clone after the original HD started having problems?

You have never bothered to mention this........ thus you should call the vendor support desk and ask them for a solution, but tell them the whole story, don't leave them to guess................... next
It came installed from who? And was it installed from a Windows CD or a Recovery CD?
