I tried for 3 days to swap a new 250G HD into my 07 model Lennovo Think pad T61p. A computer buddy of mine tried several times but there is something tricky about Lennovo laptops. For whatever reason it will not boot up. I don't know if it is a bios thing etc. We used two different cloning programs which work great for other brand PC's. We did a Google search and came up with the same issues by others. Does anyone know the trick to clone and make the new drive boot and work properly? we used Acronis True Image. Also the new drive is much larger and the image copies the original partition. So I need that larger as well. ugh, it has become a real project...
This is the exact issue!
