The easiest way I can think of is use SCSI disk mode with the old
drive in your 520c. Copy the contents to the desktop you are using and
then swap back hard drives in the 520c. If you don't have a desktop, find
someone who does.
Another way is to hook up an external hard drive to the laptop, and
do the same thing with the old and new hard drives.
