I cant figure out what the problem is. I have tried to do it several ways but each time I put the drive in the laptop it locks up on boot. I was at best buy earlier and asked a geek squadder if they had any 4200 rpm drives and he stated that he himself had put a 5400 in a Dell Inspiron 2500 recently. Said it was a 60 gb drive also. Oh well I guess i'll keep trying and if it doesn't work out I have a 60 gb portable. I already have a 2.5 Adaptec housing. Not bad construction but no software included. Is Acronis still available as a free download?
