Will a Toshiba laptop have driver compatibility issues if the hard drive was replaced with one from a Dell?

Will a Toshiba laptop have driver compatibility issues if the hard drive was replaced with one from a Dell?
Okay, here's the deal. My girlfriend's father replaced the hard drive from his ANCIENT Toshiba Sat Laptop with one from a Dell Laptop. Alot of the drivers seem to be having compatibility issues, and I was wondering if there is a conflict because the HD is from a different brand of laptop. Help me out here!

You will most likely have to reinstall the Operation System on the new drive, since they will both be installed with totally different drivers that arent meant for the new computer. Other than that if the drives are similar types, it's fine.

DUDE u can't just throw a hdd in a computer and get it to work... What has happened is The hard drive is set up for the dell computer and not the toshiba.. To fix this your going to have to "reboot" aka format the hard drive and then find the disks that came with your toshiba computer and load them all up on there

Yes he will have driver compatibility issues. The drivers are different on each lap top and hard drive he will have to download and install all the correct drivers for the Toshiba and delete/remove the Dell lap top drivers for it to work correctly. Because the operating system if he has not change it was installed for the Dell along with all the Dell utilities and drivers. Simplest thing would be to just install the original Toshiba operating system using a set of recovery disc onto the Dell hard drive, it will write over the Dell stuff and every thing on the HD. He could have just gotten a new hard drive and then installed the OS, hard drives are not all that expensive any more. He can find all the correct drivers here: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/home.jsp by model number.

take off the harddisk out of the laptop, get a 2.5 " enclosure, connect it to it and then connect the enclosure to another computer and view your harddisk as an external Harddisk and get out all the data you need. Then reinstall your harddisk back and do clean format and windows reinstallation

I don't know why but I have the same problem with my Toshiba laptop. Not only did everything on the hard drive got deleted, the hard drive is having problems functioning.

Even if the hard disk is deleted than also there is one backup storage system. Using that storage system you can restore your files.
