what is the bigger picture on how to do this?
what I understand from googling is:
1)use a clone software to make a mirror of your partitions from the
disk-to-replace into another media.
2)replace the disk.
3)restore the mirror copies back onto the new disk in their designated
partitions.
is that right?
hda looks like this
