Still not shure about the Lenovo build quality, so the choice seems to
be HP
or Acer. Thanks for the advice and keep it comming as I will make my final
decision tomorrow. The second hard drive tip is handy to know as I should
think that most of the manufactures do somthing similar
Grab yourself an external USB shell for your second drive and you can
then easily clone the contents of your internal drive. For speed and
ease, you may want to grab one of the Linux Live-CD distros, so you can
do the copy *without* booting Windows, if that's what you are running.
