what brand drive do you have. the major brands all offer free disk
utilities that can be downloaded from the manufactures site and include
guided set up of your new drive, including cloning the current primary
boot drive and preparing the new drive to replace the primary boot drive.

I'm just about to upgrade my Latitude D620's hard drive. Purchased
new hard drive (320GB SATAII) and USB 2.5" hard drive enclosure.

Can anyone detail (or point me) to a step by step guide to cloning the
hard drive so I don't have to spend days reloading everything? Very
basically, I understand that you place the new hard drive in the
enclosure, clone the old to the new, and replace old hard drive in
laptop with new hard drive with cloned copy of original.

I was going to use UBCD but understand it is difficult to make using a
Dell XP CD and that's all I have.

As always, thanks in advance for all your help.

Lisa
