I am currently using a Gateway T-6321 laptop with a 320 GB SATA HD. I'm
finding it's running out of room, with all the pdf's and other files I
have accumulated. I want to swap it out to a 750GB SATA HDD. How can I
do this when I don't have another laptop with the same exact specs as
the Gateway? In other words is it possible to transfer everything from
my current HDD to the 750GB one using an external USB enclosure? will I
be able to then install the 750GB HDD and have ALLmy settings and ALL my
applications transfer over intact? Any help someone could provide would
be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi,
I just replaced a smaller drive to a larger one much like you want to
do. My procedure was the following:
- get a copy of clonezilla and clone the drive to an external usb drive
- replace the small drive with the larger drive
- use clonezilla to populate the larger drive
- you will note that the larger drive is a clone of the smaller one, so
you will need to grow it
- get a copy of the "System Rescue CD", boot off it and use gparted to
grow the cloned filesystem to fill out the drive
Hope this helps,
Phil
