AO532h hard drive

Hello all,

I just ordered an AO532h with 250GB and want to up grade HD to 500GB or 750GB. I can't find the specs or details on the sizes of hard drives. Can anyone tell me if it takes 2.5" or 3.5"? I have read confusing posts on this.

Can anyone make some suggestions on either hardware of software? What app are you using to make a disk image?

I found this on the Amazon site: "Amazonian says:
I upgraded to a Hitachi HDD 7K500-500 no problems of any sort. You can try http://www.paragon-software.com/home/pm ... nload.html and

Any comments?

Thank you.

The drive you're looking for should be a 2.5" SATA drive. No way in hell you'd fit a 3.5" drive in, they're for Desktop PC's. As for software, if you want to copy the partitions from your old drive to your new one, try Acronis True Image Home, it comes with a bootable disk image, which you boot from and can "clone" your old drive to your new one. It will automatically copy and resize the partitions and boot sector as needed.

 

Thanks, Swarvey. That's what I thought.
