[QUOTE="melmation, post: 674878, member: 20336"] [b]For goodness sake[/b] No. Do not try to replicate your dying hard drive onto the new one. IT's not worth the risk. Start from scratch. Besides, like I have already said, I doubt your not going to be able to get everything off the dying drive so cloning it isn't even worth trying. Like I said before, a good internal drive is the seagate Momentus 7200.2 series hard drive. I don't want to come across as someone who is bossy, but did YOU not read my posts? I was trying to help, I gave you rock solid advice and your still himming and ha-ing about what to do. Sorry, but if your just going to keep on whinging about your laptop and not actually try to do anything or listen to good advice then you can count me out on trying to help you. Mel Ps if you read what I wrote, my posts answer all the questions you have. Your old drive BECOMES and external drive through the magic of an external enclosure, so you DONT need an external drive. You put a Seagate hard drive, or which ever one you want into your laptop and then you can use your laptop and work on the damaged drive easily whenever you have time. [/QUOTE]
