The upgrade this time is the hard drive:Going from a:
Hitachi 250GB SATA 5400rpm, HTS545025B9A300, 8Mb Cache, 3GbS
To a:
Hard Drive:
Western Digital 500Gb SATA, 7,200Rpm, WD5000BEKT, 16Mb Cache, 300, 3Gbs.
While the maximum transfer rates are the same, the WD will perform much better than the Hitachi does.
Western Digital made the cloning process a snap with the use of the Acronis True Image software that is available for free at the WD website.
Cloning the drive was as easy as installing the software, attaching the new drive with an external enclosure and then running the software.
When Acronis is done running, you just swap out the drives, and you are DONE!
This was a VERY easy swap, program and all. It is up and running with no issues.
You can do this one easily!
Later all!
Me!

Thanks, this is exactly what i was looking for. Now i can upgrade to a 500gb also. I already upgraded the Chip to a Phenom 2 Triple Core and 4 Gigs DDR3 in this same computer :)
Glad this helped!
