To replace the hard disc on one computer with the hard disk of another you would have to make sure they have the same connectors. If they do then you may proceed to first unplug the computer, remove the cover to access the hard drive (you may have to look at documentation to show you how to remove the hard drive from the case, replace with the old hard drive. Depending on where this old drive came out of, when it boots if the operating system is still intact it will have to update several items throughout the boot process in order to recognize the new hardware.

How do you load a disc that does not load in a computer?

it depends on what the disc does when you put it in. If it simply does not read the disk then your disk drive is bad (unlikely) or the disk itself is too damaged to be read (more likely) which means you have to replace the disk. If it does not load on its own you may laso have to go into My Computer, or Computer depending on the version of windows you are using and click on the disc drive icon.

Computer show no harddisk disc disk empty zero memory when starts what i do to recover my data from harddisk?

Try removing the disk from the computer and plugging it into another computer. If that doesn't work the disk may have experienced a "head crash", meaning that the platter is damaged. There are companies that can recover some of the data on your disk but the price is high. They disassemble the disk and replace the failed components. It generally works long enough to extract the data, but the data had better be worth it because it's expensive.

My computer isn't recognizing the fallout 3 disc when I put it in it isn't a problem with the disc anyone know whats up?

Wash the disk with mild soap and cool water. Dry with a soft cloth. Blow out the CD drive with a hair dryer and then see if your computer doesn't see the disk. (We actually suggested this when I was doing tech support for a software company.) Sometimes it is worth trying the simple things first. Second, try it on another computer to see if it is a problem disk--that eliminates the thought that it is either the computer or the disk.
