OK, I'm sure this has been discussed, but now that I need the info i can't find 
it. 

Upgrading the disk in an R60 from 60GB to 250GB. Used Seagate's DiskWizard 
(Acronis software) to clone, with original disk in standard place and the new 
disk in a usb enclosure. Seemed to work fine; disk contents look great when new 
disk is attached via usb, but: when I swap out the old disk for the new one it 
won't boot. 

Somebody forgot to tell it it's bootable? Is there an easy way to do this? 

Or is this the situation that requires the new disk to be inside the machine 
when it's being written to, with original disk elsewhere? 
(I can get the machine to boot off the original disk when it's in a HDD tray, 
so by changing boot order I could boot from original in tray, then clone to the 
new disk inside the machine, if that's what's needed.) 

Or am I more confused than I think? 

Advice, pointers, etc. most welcome. 

TIA
