[dba-Tech] Thinkpad

Hi John:

If the hard drive you are copying from or to is currently running as the
primary/boot drive, the boot tracks will not be copied or copied correctly
which means the destination drive will not be bootable.

You have to do the imaging from an external boot disk/USB/CD/DVD. That can
either be done from a CD boot image of PE Builder, Clonezilla, Ghost etc.

You can download a fully networkable PE builder ISO, with DriveImageXML from
the following link:

..or try the Clonezilla live ISO which will also build a boot disk:

Hi all,
I tried upgrading a Thinkpad SSHD with a larger 128GB SSHD by imaging the
existing 64GB SSHD over to it. The imaging system shows everything
transferred and it is bootable but the Thinkpad won't boot from it. Any
ideas?
