I need some suggestions in swapping hard drives of two laptops. First one has a 100GB. This one is slower so not many programs installed. Second one has only 80GB on it but I'm planning to put lots of programs on it because it's faster with more RAM. Both drives are SATA so they should fit. What would be best way to swap them if I don't want to format and reinstall everything? I have several ext. USB drives and both laptops have option to boot into USB in their BIOS?
I'm thinking about using Norton Ghost to make image of each drive on my ext USB drive and restore it back on the other laptop. Will Windows XP detect it has a different hard drive fine this way when booting up? The 100GB drive only has about 20GB on it right now. Any other ideas are welcomed. Thanks.
