    Best way to clone a laptop hard drive?

    Thanks corkyg, I got it. But is it not better just to clone the internal laptop HD1 to an external HD2, 2.5" drive and then just switch the drives? Jut pondering!!! :)

    Best way to clone a laptop hard drive?

    corkyg, When you clone original HD1 to the external HD2 via esata, you have an exact copy of the the HD1 (original drive). When you switched the HD1 and HD2 in the laptop you have then the exact copy of the HD1 (original) in the laptop. Why do you need to clone HD2 to the external HD1...

    review of (5) 2.5 inch hard drives

    Thanks for the link. Very interesting. Have no need for any HD right now. My Gateway laptop P-7805U FX already has 2 HDs 320GB each in it. But the Seagate 7200 performance was a real surprise.

    T-mobile Prepaid promotion

    First off, I really appreciate the info from this thread. I am a complete noob when it comes to cell phone and pay as you go plans. So if I understand correctly, if I already have an unlocked GSM phone I can buy a Tmobile Pay as you Go SIM card on Ebay, plug the SIM card in my unlocked phone...

    ~~~~ Rebate Tracking Thread ~~~~

    Just a little update. I finally contacted Asus and the lady I spoke to said that they indeed had my submission and she will cut a $20 check for me for the router 520U. The other rebate was for a DVD-RW and they have no record of it and neither do I, since I did not do LESSON #1. I hate...

    ~~~~ Rebate Tracking Thread ~~~~

    I am fairly cetain that I received an email confirming the receipt of the rebate and then nothing. Frankly I plan to give up on this. Since it happened twice to me, I just want to warn others to be careful. I do think Asus make excellent products and it reallly pains me to report a negative...

    ~~~~ Rebate Tracking Thread ~~~~

    This is FYI only. Asus did not send out my rebates (2) although it's been more than 3 months. Small amounts, about $10 and $20 for the router and a DVD R/W. But I will not do rebate with Asus again, although I have bought plenty of MBs and stuffs from them. I hope my experience was limited...

    Hitachi Travelstar 7K320 320GB 7200rpm 2.5" HD

    I put it in my cart and the price comes up $74.99 but there is and INSTANT REBATE above the price and a price of $55. So the price needs to be adjusted yet. I hope that the deal is not dead.

    ASUS WL-520gU router now $39.99, $19.99 A/R $20 rebate

    This is an excellent router and it compares favorably to the Linksys wrt54GL. I have both and although the Asus 520GU looks small it is very versatile, i.e. can be used as an AP, client bridge (with DD-WRT software) and of course as a router with print server capability. I did not receive the...
