Laptop Ibm
How do you install a new hard drive in a IBM thinkpad 600e laptop?
I have a Ibm thinkpad 600e laptop and I just bought a new hard drive for it. How do I install the new one and is there anyway I can get XP off of my old hard drive to install it to the new one if I don’t have the XP disk?
Just note on getting the “exact” information from your old drive to a new drive… Manufacturers like maxtor have a built in hard disk copy program in their MAXBLAST utilities, as do many other hard disk companies. You have to get the disks working on the same computer though… and only the newest widescreen laptops have 2 harddrives! You can use a utility from the manufacturer, like MAXBLAST to copy the entire contents to a “new” drive, by getting asmall laptop-to-IDE
converter and plugging in the drive to a Desktop, and running the program from a floppy ( newer versions allow you to run in windows, iff you don’t “boot” from the new drive).
you could copy the image to a big drive in your DESKTOP, and then, put in your other new laptop drive, and copy the image back to the new laptop drive.
If you got 2 cable converters, you could plug both the old and the new laptop drives, say as master and slave on the
cable normally connected to the 2 CD ROMS, and run the programs. Another approach is to use a program like Norton GHOST, and make a CD ‘IMAGE” of the first drive. Then install th esecond drive, and use a floppy with GHOST on it to copy the CD to the NEW drive.
Partition Magic may also help you get an image of the first drive….
If you have a CD burner, and the information fits on a standard CD ( the image is compressed to 1/2 the size of the original data, so that with 700 megs, you are copying 1.4 gig… ) If you have a DVD burner, then you you can copy
about twice as much information as the DVD burner capability,
depending on whether it is dual or single layered…
You can also copy the Partion magic, or GHOST image, or
other similar utility’s image, to an ETHERNET connected harddrive, and use GHOST or whatever to copy the entire contents back to the laptop. ( It is a bit difficult to do unless you are network guru ). You could also copy the image to an EXTERNAL harddrive attached to the laptop, and then copy the image back…
If I were you, I would ask around at local laptop repair shops, to get their input on what “they” use and recommend to quickly replicate laptop harddrive contents…
hope this gives you a few more ideas to play with…
