Hi, I need a SEAGATE MOMENTUS 5400.2 ST98823A 80GB 5400RPM hard drive for my notebook and also THAT piece of hardware where you put the hard drive finally into and fix it with 4 screws together before connecting it with the pins to the notebook. What is it called? A bay or kit or something - that piece of metal??? Thank you very much.

What software did you use for the cloning?
Ghost is the preferred method.
Be sure to choose a disk to disk clone, not a partition clone.
It sounds like you may have created a 20G partition and left 40G unallocated.
Partition Magic may also take care of the problem, if you have access to a copy.

Some laptop manufacturers use the 4 pins to the side of the data connection to force Master / Slave. Do you have a jumper shorting 2 of these pins? If so, remove the jumper and try it again in your external caddy. Had this problem 2 weeks ago with a Toshiba notebook having the Blue Screen of Death. Removed the jumper and then the disk worked perfectly!! Strange but True.
Cheers
Tim
