    Does anyone know the manufacturer of the
    750 gb 7200 rpm hard drive in this laptop?
    Only asking because I use Western Digital Acronis
    for backups, and you MUST have a WD drive.

    THanks

    I'm not sure as it seems it all is different but you can always connect a WD drive and use that to install the software, as it seems it only seems uses that to confirm that you have a WD.

    I'm fairly sure it's NOT a Western Digital

    Thanks, for the advice on installing the software with an external WD drive.
