I changed the hard drive on my extensa 5620, got an error message can not find operating system?
The current hard drive is a 200 GB, 5400 RPM Toshiba. Wish to replace it with a Western Digital Black 320 GB, 7400 RPM. First, mounted the WD HDD on an external case and cloned the partition where the OS is located. Next I changed the priority order in the BIOS to boot from the external drive to confirm the cloning was successful. However, when I installed the new WD hard drive into the laptop, the system won't boot it can't find the operating system. Did I miss something? Maybe some one can help? Thanks.

Are you running Windows 7 32/64?
What did you use to clone the drive?
Have you checked Bios in Laptop to see if the HDD is recognized and it is set to the correct settings?
Do you have a Win 7 install disk?
