How to replace the hard driver with another bigger one witho

#1 Post by mike20030405 » Thu Aug 09, 2007 5:18 pm

I just got a 7200RPM 100G hard drive, and I'd like to replace the 5400RPM 80G one in my Thinkpad T60.
As you all know, the Thinkpad T60's hard drive has two partitions, one is C: installed with WindowsXP, one is hidden for recoverying.
My goal is: Have the original Windows XP partition and hidden partition EXACTLY copied to the new driver, and the left space for one or two other partitions(for BSD or OS X in future)

Do you guys have the most efficiency way to do that? Thanks a lot.

Do a forum search for 'acronis'. There are hundreds of threads on this topic.

One of the topics in the FAQs.
"I've come a long, long way," she said, "and I will go as far,
With the man who takes me from my horse, and leads me to a bar."
The man who took her off her steed, and stood her to a beer,
Were a bleary-eyed Surveyor and a DRUNKEN ENGINEER.
