A friend of mine asked me to install a new hard drive in its Dell Latitude C600 with XP Pro. The original idea was to install the new disk and reinstall XP on new drive.I I have not done this before on a laptop to keep with me. I wonder if this caused problems with the activation of this with Microsoft. I also saw laptop hard drive upgrade kits, and wondered how they worked. The ones I have seen are a little expensive. It seems that they are all is a simple external hard disk enclosure with the backup software. Can we just use an external hard disk enclosure and the use of cloning / backup software such as Norton Ghost or XXClone.

Hey,
You could certainly use XXClone to clone your hard drive and load it on the new disc. You should do this through a USB reader for the new, or you can hook it up via EDI. This MAY be a problem at activation. If so, and you genuniely to this license for Windows, you can call Microsoft to reactivate and indicate that you have upgraded the hard drive and you have the same license. It should not be a problem with it again, then you probably just need the key to the product.
Sincerely, Brandon

You can buy an adapter cable that allows you to connect a PCMCIA reader for a desktop IDE. Copy the entire disk on the desktop, the format of the new portable player and copy the contents of the laptop home on the new hard drive. Good luck! ;-) =

I tink you should go for iit. Install the hard drive and try to get matching ram drives and memory cards. If there are no more than 60 gigabytes of memory xp then it wont work or run very slowly
