Query re hard drive space
Now I have a little problem my partners laptop is terribly slow and in part because it has a slow 5400rpm spinner.
So to get a bit more speed out of it I got a hybrid Seagate 500GB drive. Now the original drive already mentioned is an unusual 600GB drive.
Now I just want to clone the 600GB drive to the new one using Macrium but it comes up with the message not enough space even though the data would fit easily onto the 500GB drive.
I know this is the usual thing that happens but someone did mention to me that I can probably "trick" the machine into thinking the 600GB is actually smaller by altering the partition sizes however I cannot find what that post with the instructions.
Mind you he did say it might work and not will work.
So any clever people out there - ideas would be most welcome. As an afterthought I do have a new Seagate 750GB 7200rpm spinner as well but obviously if the hybrid is going to be faster I would rather use it.
