Can you connect the one with the broken screen to an external monitor? If you can could you try the install on that one? Could be a faulty SATA controller on Netbook X? If that works you could simply swap the screen from Netbook X and put it on Netbook Y instead of swapping the drives.
Also worth looking in the BIOS for SATA controller modes. If you can change it from AHCI to IDE or legacy it should solve your problem. Not ideal since it will be a tiny bit slower but that's the only real downside.
