- I want to clone the o= riginal drive. Do I need to make a partition on the 500 that is exactly 128= ? I was hoping this was not the case because my program files directory is = huge and I wanted more room it.

-- If cloned exactly and replaced on the same= SATA cable bus, it will act exactly as the other drive no? I won't nee= d to change any BIOS settings?

- Best software for this t= ask? Will windows built in drive imaging tool be ok?

- Any other gotchas I should look for?
