    Right now I have an 80 Gig HD and want to upgrade my F572US to 250 GB. I remember reading somewhere on this forum about a program that will make a "mirror" copy of your hard drive (No, not Ghost). You can copy this to an external HD, insert the NEW 250 GB HD and it will copy EVERYTHING back to that HD, reboot and your back to where you were.

    I really don't feel like messing with the lousy "system restore" disks, backing everything up and spending days putting my computer back together...any or all help is appreciated.
