Bruce, Not with a thinkpad, but an old Chicony. I bought a 2.5->3.5 power adapter and used DriveCopy 3.0 in my desktops to copy drive to drive with winbloze 98se, suse 7.2, col 3.1beta, etc. Then simply plugged back in the new drive in the laptop and away I went still using the 18G that was copied/imaged from a 6.4 G. I dunno if this helps.
