I've got a hp dv6000 laptop with a 120gb hdd in it and want to put in a 250gb hdd i salvaged from another laptop. My question is where can i find a free reliable cloning application that someone here has personally used and can vouch for? The 120 gb hdd thats in it is still good, i just want some more space. It is partitioned 100 gb for C and 20 for recovery D. I do have a external usb sata enclosure that i'll be using. I know it will take a while to clone using the usb but thats all i have for now. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Upgrading laptop hdd question
Pretty much most of the major manufacturers offer free cloning software in their support sections. Only makes sense, since many people want to clone their existing drive to a larger drive. Just go to the support section of the manufacturer of the 250GB drive for the software.Comment

To all the members here...
Let me tell you a little bit about what happened to my laptop (MSI GF63 THIN 11UCX model: MS-16R6) that “maybe” you know how to solve this problem.
So before this problem happened, my laptop was running smoothly. When I wanted to restart my laptop, it looked fine at first. But after I waited for this restart process to take a long time, until finally I panicked (because the restart process did not finish plus the laptop screen only showed a black screen), I immediately pressed and held the power button to force the laptop to turn off. But... -
Hello Everyone!
I have an Acer Aspire A315-42 laptop. I generally leave it on for long time by closing down its lid (so it enters the sleep mode). Recently, it rained quite heavily in out area. And the humidity and moisture seem to be high. So one late evening, after I opened the lid and turned on the laptop, it did power on as the blue light turned on but after it booted to the desktop screen, just 5-10 seconds after both the screen and blue light went out and laptop shut down (the blue power light turned orange). And after 2-4 seconds that orange light went off and the laptop died....06-28-2025, 02:57 PM -
Hello,
on this old laptop toshiba satellite m40 331 i am trying (but failing) to upgrade frow w7 to w10 and allways i have the error : 0xc1900101 - 0c20017. The upgrading process stops with the pc blocked with the logo screen w10 on the display; then there is no activity on the disk hdd or ssd.
it's also impossible to boot from a dvd iso bootable, the device equally blocks on the w10 logo screen...
i verified the informations in the device manager and it seems there are no problems...
i wonder if it's not an issue about the bios (which is very old) or an interface problem... -
I have this inexplicable problem from yesterday
Each time i start my laptop by pushing the physical power button in, the laptop keyboard and touchpad are available to me for use when the system has booted to the desktop (I can enter the bios by pressing on F10 too) irrespective of whether the laptop is powered by the AC adapter or the battery. This is normal behaviour
BUT NOW FOR THE ABNORMAL PART
However, when using the laptop normally, if i choose restart from the power options, the touchpad and mouse are non-functional when the system has booted to the... -
I have a Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 (1868) - 13.5 inch. It is the version with the i5, 8 GB of RAM, and 256 GB SSD. I believe the motherboard number is M1098028-008. It has been dead for a year and a half. I tried everything that is suggested on Microsoft's support website. I have the original power supply, and the white light on the power supply's connector turns on and stays on when it is connected to the laptop. Nothing happens when I try to turn on the laptop. The caps lock key's light does not turn on. There is absolutely no sign of life. I have also tried charging the laptop using the USB-C...11-01-2024, 05:25 PM
