Hi guys,
I plan to upgrade my laptop's harddisk to a bigger capacity, any tips to simplify this procedure? Walang kasamang Windows XP installer yung laptop ko so gusto ko sana tipong iclone ko yung harddisk to the new one. Are there shops that do this service? Kung yung Norton Ghost gagamitin ko, edi andaming DVD kong ibuburn to backup? Help!

there are shops in greenhills (v-mall) who can help you with this. i had the hard drive of my laptop upgraded there. they installed xp, and restored my old hard drive's contents into the new one. i'll try to look for the contact number of that shop. hope this helps.

Upgrading a laptop's hard drive is not really a big hassle since drives are standardized. Did it before on my roommate's laptop no big deal.
As for copying your first drive into your new one, any competent computer shop or a tech-savvy friend with the right tools should be able to do it.
Of course, an external hard drive is another thing to lug around, which sort of defeats the purpose of having a laptop. The USB interface is a lot slower too.

that's the big problem... mahirap mag ghost ng laptop hard drives.... wala pa ako alam na nakagawa ng ghost ng laptop hard disk to laptop hard disk kasi wala namang secondary ide master, primary slave or secondary slave mga laptops e...
Though meron ako kilalang hard disk dusplicator ng assembler ng NEO laptops... pero overkill naman yun sa iyong requirements....

i have a Compaq Presario V3000 laptop. kung magpapalit ako to bigger capacity hard disk, can i use the System Recovery discs para i-install yung OS and other bundled applications?
the Recovery Discs (2 DVDs) were created using the in-built software of the Compaq laptop. this can only be done once. nawala na magisa yung program na yun.

Thanks for the replies guys. Yung Norton Ghost kaya ba iclone yung current harddisk to the new one via USB external hard drive?
HP yung laptop ko and bundled yung OS (XP Home) nung binili ko. I also have the recovery DVDs na pinagawa ng HP, I guess same lang ito sa Compaq ni boybi.
Void ba warranty pag magupgrade ng HD and/or memory?
