Re: Clone HHD Laptop question....
Acronis
Ideally fire up acronis on another PC and stick your drive in a caddy to back it up. Else create yourself an Acronis boot CD (if you have a CD drive) Stick the new drive in a caddy then let acronis "clone" the disk. That will do all the boot/recover etc too.

Buy yourself one of these http://www.maplin.co.uk/sata-hard-dr...station-222999 and get a copy of Acronis or the free Seagate Disc Wizard to clone the entire drive. The Seagate utility is not limited to use on Seagate drives.
