Laptop drive cloning
Any advice on upgrading an IBM T42 harddisk ?
Its now 20gig and I want to upgrade it to 40gig. Can I just use partition magic and drop the new cloned drive inside ? Any foreseeable issues ?

Don't know how you are going to do it since you can't hook up two drives at once. About the only thing to do is to find an external hard drive, ghost everything to it and then ghost it back to the new drive.

I have PM 7 and it supports USB cloning - though I have not use this feature yet. What I'm not so sure about IBM laptop is there is a "proprietary partition" which holds recovery information and diagnostics and I'm not sure if this can just be clone as normal.
