    Hi - I'm upgrading my current m1210 hard drive to a 200 gb 7200 hard drive. I want to image the original onto the new one. A couple of questions:
    - can I use Acronis 10 to create the image onto the new drive?
    - I'd like to keep the media direct partition and the recovery partition as well. Should I partition the new drive first? Which partition should I image first, and will the media direct and recovery functions still work? Thanks.
