QUOTE(jinaun @ Sep 16 2010, 10:21 PM) 1) if u dun mind reinstalling windows and all ur other software... then upgrade the internal HDD.. i believe there is also 2.5" 1TB hdd.. but its expensive and also the z height is 12.5mm imo,u dont have to reinstall your os and your software... juz use a cloning software to clone all your files exactly to your empty external hdd,then install your new internal hdd and then clone back from your external hdd... its a lot of work,but reasonable  |

QUOTE(fariz @ Sep 18 2010, 10:48 AM) I prefer cloning it directly to the new HDD. Then readjust the partition size if I'm moving from small capacity HDD to larger ones. right!!also right... some good cloning software r paragon something(edit:paragon backup and recovery software>http://www.paragon-software.com/home/db-express/)... i dont remember,but as always its free!!
