    Hi,
    I want to upgrade my 120G HD in my Dell laptop. Can I use A USB powered external hard drive enclosure to hold my new HD to mirror the current installed HD? Then simply install the HD out of the external enclosure and boot up?
    Can you recommend a mirroring program, hopefully freeware?
    Thanks,
    Mike
