    Hi,
    I have a T61 and bought a Scorpio black 500GB hdd. I'm planning on using WD version of Acronis to clone my 100GB drive to the new one. I'm planning on making a 100GB OS partition, then using the rest for data. How should I get the hidden restore drive onto the new HDD? Anything else wrong with this plan? Thanks.

    If you clone the drive the hidden recovery partition will be copied by itself.
