I broke my C55 5220 and am looking to buy a used Satellite-C675D-S7101. Will I have any problems swapping my hard drive? I need the info I have on mine.

Hi there shelinelson,

Most probably, your system will get a BSOD. You will need to perform a clean OS install.
If you want the data stored on the drive, you can just attach the drive to a working system either externally(SATA to USB adapter) or internally(SATA & power cables).

Let me know in case you have some more questions,
