Dear Group,
I've received a birthday gift: a new HDD to speed up my ThinkPad,
2652-J3U (P4-1.6M) with 896MB RAM.
The Hitachi Travelstar IC25N040ATCS05 is a 5400 rpm 40GB item with an
8MB buffer to replace the 4200 rpm original (bufferless, I believe.
The original 20GB drive has 2 NTFS partitions, C: ("System") is 7.5 GB
containing 4.7 GB of data, and E: ("Data") is 9.9 GB with just 1.2 GB
occupied.
I don't know the correct way to replace the old HDD with the newer one.
I've done cloning on desktop drives a few times:
Using Symantec's Ghost utility, I am accustomed to plugging an ATA flat
ribbon into the 2nd IDE channel's socket on my motherboard during the
data transfer.
But how is it done with a ThinkPad?
I ought not to have trusted my college student son with the user manual,
I'm afraid, and I don't see the manual's pdf online. I need advice!
Thanks!
