    I have LW60 and want to upgrade my HDD to 7200 rpm. Is it possible to do that without losing InstantON feature?!!

    If you image your new drive exactly as your old one there shouldn't be a problem...

    Thank you for responding.
    If the new drive has a larger capacity, how should I partition it?
    As I read on this forum, InstantON has a specific partition of its own. Should I also make a special partiton for it or just image the whole old HDD to an equal size partition on the new drive?!!
    Would I still be able to use the original system restore CD that came with the notebook (Windows XP, Utilities & drivers)??!!

    Sorry for all the questions but I need to make sure I'm doing the upgrade in the right way.
