How to clone a X200 hard disk

[HarryNewton]

I need to clone the original hard drive in my new X200 to an identical hard drive (same size) in the docking station.

I nedd to be able to put the cloned disk in my X200 and have it boot up and work as if it were the original.

I have tried every cloning software I can find -- from Acronis, to Apricorn, to Ghost, to Clone Genius.

Nothing works. Does anyone have any ideas?

I use Apricorn's EZ Gig II cloning software on my X61 and it works perfectly.

Something has changed on the X200. Anyone know what and how to fix it?

HarryNewton, welcome to the forum,

which OS do you have installed? This thread may be of interest, the same rules apply.

Hope this helps

What is your problem really then? couldn't boot or something?

Not sure if I understand what you're talking about, but EASEUS Partition Manager Home Edition (http://www.partition-tool.com/download.htm) is a free tool that has hard drive copying capabilities. Also HDClone (http://www.miray.de/products/sat.hdclone.html) does hard drive copying. I believe both of these create a replica of the image of your hard drive and should allow you to boot from them. Hope one of them works for you
