    HI - how do you go about cloning an existing 2.5" hard drive to a new 2.5" hard drive, including O/S, registry - pretty much everything so I can slip the drive into my laptop and not miss a beat? I know Ghost 10 would work, but I can't find any External Enclosures for 2.5" SATA drives, which I would think is the way to do this?

    Looks like it's an IDE adapter only. Anyone able to find 2.5" SATA adapters or enclosures?
