Allright. I got a 320 Gig WD laptop drive. Now I just have to install it, partition it, and add the OS'es and we should be back in business.
For my desktop system I got a 500 Gig drive which will replace the 120 Gig I have now which replaced the 80 Gig I was using up to a couple months ago.
Why not use Clonezilla to transfer the existing partitions to the new drive, then use Gparted to expand them accordingly? All you need is a 2.5" USB drive enclosure for the new drive.
Clonezilla is available on a live CD, and does a fantastic job, even with NTFS partitions.
Yes, I am going to. Anything to speed this up.
I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
