How to move the service partition to a new HDD?

#1 Post by motocrossmann » Wed May 13, 2009 11:34 am

I'd like to move only the service partition to a new 7200 disk. From there I will reinstall the XP OS from the new disk.

What is the best way to do it without calling Lenovo for a rescue and recovery CD? I have licensed copies of Ghost, Partion Magic, and Acronis. I tried this in the past, but could not get the blue ThinkVantage button to see the service partition.

Thanks in advance.

Edit, BTW my machine is a T60...

make the recovery CD set and then run then recovery on the new HDD..

if you want to retain data, use acronie to clone the drive, one to the other..
