Possible to re-create HPA on a new hard drive?

[bessel]

Hi,

I am thinking of upgrading my hard drive to a 320GB WD, and I have saved my 1CD+1DVD R&R media when I first received my Thinkpad T60. My question is, can I use them to create the Hidden Partition Area as well as the R&R function on the new hard drive?

Thanks,
bessel

The T60 uses a partition, rather than an HPA, but the answer is yes.

I might do that too.
