    Hi, I am upgrading my hard drive in my NP9262, using this method:

    Step 1: Check your existing HDD to find out the interface type (PATA or SATA)

    Step 2: Buy a compatible HDD plus a suitable USB enclosure

    Step 3: Go to Acronis and download the trial version of TrueImage. Install and create the recovery CD.

    Step 4: Put the new HDD into the enclosure and connect to the computer

    Step 5: Boot the computer using the Acronis CD and then select the Clone option

    Step 6: Clone the old HDD onto the new one

    Step 7: Take the old HDD out of the computer and replace with the new one from the enclosure

    Step 8: Boot the computer. Everything should be as it was except for more free space.



    I am using RAID 1 right now- will this setting be preserved? I will use one of the old HDDs as a third hard drive also, will that screw anything up?

    Thanks
