W520 HDD upgrade problems
Re: W520 HDD upgrade problems
I haven't used that big a laptop drive before so I have no experience to share.
If it were me I would try a different cloning program.
Another option I would try is to make a backup image and restore that image on your new drive.
I know you said you have done this before so it sounds like the procedure should work. Another thing I would try is to install the new drive in the W520 and clone. From your description you cloned the new drive outside the W520 and then installed it.

Re: W520 HDD upgrade problems
thanks.
The drive letters on the cloned one are G,Q,H,.Just wonder if i change that C,Q,H, before i clone.
Is there a good free clone software?
