I rebooted the laptop, and it was working, so I left things alone. I returned late that night, but was afraid to make the switch at that time.
So I moved on with vacation, slightly worried about it. The estimated time on my Qosmio F40, dual core 2.2GHz machine with SATA drives, was about 3 hours. Once I started it, I had a couple graphs on the screen showing progress. My screen didn't look like this one above, as I'd set one large partition for the target drive. I managed to get this right, and things are confirmed in your settings. Read carefully as the options were slightly confusing to me. So I walked through, choosing the source disk and target disk, setting the partition to be the whole disc. I could live with two partitions on the new drive, but I've prefer one. My old drive was 160GB and the new one was 320GB. The guy at Best Buy said I'd want to walk through the advanced selections to choose the new size of the partition. I had to move down to the clone disk option. It's mainly a backup program and gives you lots of options. It's loading off CD, and that gives you new appreciation for how well things work off a disk drive. When it starts, it's a GUI, and it's slow. So I inserted the Acronis CD in the drive and booted to it. I probably could have tested it somehow, but I was pressed for time with family calling for things. The hardware showed up, but no guarantees there was a drive there. At this point I didn't see the external USB drive because it was completely blank. Once I was sure things were working, I took a deep breath. I was lucky I could get the latest versions of things. I'd done this before my trip, but I was 4 days late in changes to a few things. Get one, and periodically copy things off. A cheap, 1TB external USB drive costs about US$200. NOTE and WARNING: Your hard drive will fail at some point.
I managed to get my laptop to boot, and then copied off the latest versions of my documents to an external drive. I got a Black Widow, external SATA dock and a copy of Acronis True Image Home version along with a new SATA drive. I grabbed a netbook, which would give me short term help, and also I tried another solution I'd read about. I was on vacation, and I didn't have super immediate needs, but I did have a commitment to speak on behalf of SQLServerCentral at the Richmond SQL Server and. I was on the road, and didn't have a lot of choices, especially as I was in a weird place.
