I don't mean to hijack someone else's thread, but since Martin's problem
seems to be solved and I've had some cloning pains of my own that I'm hoping
the collective wisdom and experience of this group might be able to shed
some light on.
I used Acronis' products (first Disk Director to clone, then True Image to
backup/recover--both the latest versions of these products) trying to copy 3
partitions from one drive to another, larger drive (increasing the partition
sizes in the process).
The system boots (I recovered the "System Reserved" partition, The C drive
is Windows7, 64-bit, the D drive is my data drive, and the other (logical)
partition contains (VMware) virtual machines, and I did recover the disc
signature) and everything *seems* to look good except for the following:
1. Indexing and Searching (both in Windows Explorer and Outlook) are
broken. If I go to the Control Panel | Indexing Options, nothing is being
indexed and I can't add to indexed locations.
2. I can't log on the Windows Live Messenger
Anyone have any thoughts? I'm currently back to running the "current"
smaller drive since Windows is pretty useless without search capabilities.
Thanks.

Subject: Re: [Thinkpad] Cloning HDD pains
So an update.
I downloaded a newer version of Macrium reflect which allowed cloning of
hard drives. Sadly its a trial version to install over my old cover disk
version which had no expiry.
I used the 2nd hard drive caddy and did it within the t60 and worked fine
apart from the drive letter of my apps/data partition changed in w2k but not
xp.
A visit to diskmgmt.msc solved that.
Running the old falling hard drive as a swap/page file to speed things up a
little in windows in the 2nd caddy.
thanks for the suggestions, group.
